 * - `'posts'`: Load posts
 * - `['posts', 'passports']`: Load posts and passports
 * - `{'owner': 'posts'}`: Load owner and owner's posts
 * - `{'owner': ['posts', 'passports']}`: Load owner, owner's posts, and owner's passports
 * - `{'owner': [{posts: 'images'}, 'passports']}`: Load owner, owner's posts, owner's posts' images, and owner's passports
 * See `DataAccessObject.include()`.
 * @property {String} order Sort order.  Format: `'key1 ASC, key2 DESC'`
 * @property {Number} limit Maximum number of instances to return.
 * @property {Number} skip Number of instances to skip.
 * @property {Number} offset Alias for `skip`.
 * @property {Object|Array|String} fields Included/excluded fields.
 * - `['foo']` or `'foo'` - include only the foo property
 *  - `['foo', 'bar']` - include the foo and bar properties.  Format:
 *  - `{foo: true}` - include only foo
 * - `{bat: false}` - include all properties, exclude bat
 *
 * @param {Function} cb Required callback function.  Call this function with two arguments: `err` (null or Error) and an array of instances.
