aliased in mixins

I would like to use Mixin to make a base class for MPTT trees, just as an example


class MPTT(object):
    <at> declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):
        return cls.__name__.lower()

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
    level = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable = False)
    lft = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable = False)
    rgt = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable = False)

    <at> declared_attr
    def parent_id(cls):
        return db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey(cls.id))

    <at> declared_attr
    def num_children(cls):
        mptt2 = aliased(cls)
        return column_property(select([func.count(cls.id)]).where(cls.parent_id == mptt2.id))

And then use it like:

class Node(MPTT, Base):
    __tablename__ = 'node'
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(150), nullable = False)
    urlname = db.Column(db.String(150), nullable = False)
    is_visible = db.Column(db.Boolean, default = True)

    def __repr__(self):
        return '%r (%r - %r)' % (self.name, self.lft, self.rgt)

    def __init__(self, name, urlname, parent = None):
        super(Node, self).__init__(parent)
        self.name = name
        self.urlname = urlname

However I have problem using aliased in the mixin getting an error: 

  File "./app/ext_mptt/models.py", line 24, in ordernum
    mptt2 = aliased(cls)
  File "./venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/util.py", line 385, in aliased
    return AliasedClass(element, alias=alias, name=name, adapt_on_names=adapt_on_names)
  File "./venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/util.py", line 298, in __init__
    self.__mapper = _class_to_mapper(cls)
  File "./venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/util.py", line 673, in _class_to_mapper
    raise exc.UnmappedClassError(class_or_mapper)
sqlalchemy.orm.exc.UnmappedClassError: Class 'app.cms.models.Node' is not mapped

I thought the num_children method should be called when Node is mapped. Will be grateful for any hints!
