Prefetching VS HATEOAS

Hi all,

Often when designing REST interfaces for relational resources, I run 
into a tension between the efficiency of prefetching a related resource 
when one is requested on the one hand and the simplicity, elegance, and 
generality of referencing related resources via hypermedia. Does anyone 
have any advice on how best to manage that tension?

Thanks,
