well, you need at least property definitions and getters for the 
informations you like to display from the pages.

Yes, you need a mapping rule, but you don't need "recordType = Tx_..." 
unless you really need single table inheritance.

yes, looks good. You could use a better naming for $entryprops though, 
like $properties - but keep in mind that you have to add some column 
mapping rules in TS then.

> Do I have to write the same in Model_TableB for the pages object?

yes - how would you otherwise be able to access the pages if your models 
don't have a property for them ;) Everything you like to get from your 
models at least needs a property definition and a getter method. So if 
TableB has a relation to pages and you need to get the related pages you 
need to add the necessary parts to the model.
