Fields with relations to multiple tables are not supported by extbase. 
You can use group fields of internal_type 'db' and a relation to a 
single table though, but you need to additionally define 'foreing_table' 
=> 'nameOfTable' in your TCA in order to make it work. Extbase has no 
native support for the TCA type "group" yet.
I created a patch once that's at least enabling native support of group 
fields relating to a single table, but it didn't make it into extbase 
yet (I have to clean up the code of that patch anyways and find a more 
straight forward way to implement that feature)
