Query objects where the pointer object matches any objects within a PFObject array

My class Posts has a column that is a pointer to another class called Styles. Each post must be associated to a Style object as a rule of thumb.

My problem: I can't get only the posts that are associated to one or more styles.

My object selectedStyles, that is an array of PFObjects that already contains the style objects I would like to use to match the query. So populating the selectedStyles is not an issue, but how to use it to produce my query is.

What I am doing at the moment is:

override func queryForTable() -> PFQuery {

    var query = PFQuery(className: "Posts")
    query.whereKey("bellongsToStyle", containsAllObjectsInArray: [selectedStyles])
    query.orderByDescending("createdAt")
    return query

If I could translate the whereKey method in plain english I would say:

...contains - ANY OF THE - PFObjectsInArray [selectedStyles]

I am not so sure if that is possible... any ideas?!

I think I am too late for this but you can just add

[IncludeKey:"bellongsToStyle"]

when you are querying in your 'Posts' class don't need to run any extra query for that

here's a small reference
