Is this model (Symfony's YML based) wrong based on normalization?

propel:
client:
client_id: {type: integer}

foo:
client_id: {type: integer, foreignTable: client, foreignReference: client_id}
foo_id: {type: integer}

bar:
client_id: {type: integer, foreignTable: client, foreignReference: client_id}
bar_id: {type: integer}

foobar:
client_id: {type: integer}
foo_id: {type: integer}
bar_id: {type: integer}
_foreignKeys:
fk_foo:
foreignTable: foo
references:
- { local: client_id, foreign: client_id }
- { local: foo_id, foreign: foo_id }
fk_bar:
foreignTable: bar
references:
- { local: client_id, foreign: client_id }
- { local: bar_id, foreign: bar_id }

The full discussion can be found at http://www.symfony-project.org/forum/index.php/t/12807/

All I want is the best option, but not based in common sense, but in rules, cause after a lot of discussions I found this way better than the usual one.
