Rails: has_one relationship that can be direct or require a :through

In my rails app, I have a relationship that can be either a has_one or a has_one :through, and I'm not sure how to architect this.

In other words, say I have the classes Foo, Bar, and Baz, the relationship between Foo and Baz could either be:

class Foo
  has_one :baz
end

class Baz
  belongs_to :foo
end

OR it could be 

class Foo
  has_one :bar
  has_one :baz, through: :bar
end

class Bar
  has_one :baz
  belongs_to :foo
end

class Baz
 belongs_to :bar
end

Does anyone know what the best way is to manage both relationships?
