Query with multiple joins

Greetings from Vancouver :)

Say you have three tables:

- purchase orders(po),
- order_items
- users.

A purchase order consist of one or many order_items and both of these tables, purchase orders and order_items, references the id of a user.

In purchase orders its usually an accountant creating the po and in the orders table its usually someone else, a requester, so to speak.

The po table doesn't list anything with regards to order items.
However, the order_items table has, for each item, the id of the po it goes in.
Each of these tables has a userId and I need to retrieve for each the person's name from the user's table.

My goal is to list all po with all order_items along with the name of both the accountant and requester for each po and order_item.

At the core, my question can then be reduced to this: what is the sql code to list:

po.id,
order.id,
po.purchaser(getting the accountant's name from users table from id),
order.requester(getting the requester's name from users table from id).

Please help me avoid thinking about this all weekend :)

Thank you!!!

Antoine
