rails rabl multiple collections

I'm having a bit of trouble with rabl. This code 

collection favourite_groups, root: :groups

extends 'favourites/base'

gives me the following json structure: { groups: [ {..}, {..} ] }. What I need is to append another node that contains an array - { groups: [ {..}, {..} ], users: [ {..}, {..} ] } The data is in separate variables, but it can be in one, which ever makes this work.

Ideas?

Maybe it's too late for an anwser I did try you syntax but didn't work for me : I think if you append a child with no record, this will confuse rabl engine, because it's looking for a descendent of the root object I did replace with a node element and a partial and it works

object false # ok, no record

node :favourite_groups => :groups do
   partial('favourites.json.rabl', :object => @favourite_groups) 
end

node :favourite_users => :users do
  partial('favourites.json.rabl', :object => @favourite_users)
end

There is an explanation what are the differences between node and child Github rabl Tips and tricks

Hope this help

Ok, nevermind, made it work with this

object false

child favourite_groups => :groups do
  collection favourite_groups
  extends 'favourites/base'
end

child favourite_users => :users do
  collection favourite_users
  extends 'favourites/base'
end
