How to Access Pointer Values in Parse Database

I am working on an iOS app, running on Parse(backend).

I am having problems with accessing the contents of another class from a query I made.

So I have this table. Let's call it "Contests". it has the following data: name, date start, date end, pointer to organization table (the objectid)

And then the organization table: name, number of Facebook likes,

I want to be able to access the name of the organization and every other detail a certain contest has. Will I have to put a query inside another query, slight problem with that is that the queries require waiting time and it accomplishes it in the background. So I have:

findInBackground() {
   findInBackground() {
   }
}

Is there any better way to do this? Also I am getting multiple objects at the same time.

You need to do a query on your Contest table with whatever requirements you have but then add an includeKey call:

var query = PFQuery(className:"Contests")

//...Other query requirements

query.includeKey("organization")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
}

includeKey will force fetch of the organization along with the contest details in 1 query.
