Desired Output:

Curent user is z12zzzzz ie Jobs

Since Jobs is following Matt and Ballu only their tweet will be shown

--------------------------------------------
 Matt (3min ago)
   Head Pain
--------------------------------------------
 Matt (4min ago)
   Back Pain
--------------------------------------------
 Matt (5min ago)
   Sleepy
--------------------------------------------
 Ballu (5min ago)
   lets Dance
--------------------------------------------

my problem here is that am getting the users being followed but not their respected tweets

        var username = window.localStorage.getItem('ls_username');
        var Follow = Parse.Object.extend("follow");
        var follow = new Parse.Query(Follow);
        follow.equalTo('followedBy', username);
        follow.include("following");
        follow.include("tweet");
        follow.include('tweet.tweetBy');
        follow.find().then(function(results){
            console.log(results);
            var contentHtml = '';
            for(i in results){
                var object = results[i];
               // Display individual tweets with their respected usernames
               // Display only tweets of people being followed by currentuser
            }
            $('#globalTweets').html(contentHtml);
        });

I think the question is, given a user, how do we get tweets made by users that the given user is following?

var _ = require('underscore');
// need a user object, not a username, if the relational fields are pointers
var currentUser = Parse.User.current();

// find follows where the user is the follower
var followQuery = new Parse.query("follow");  // conventional class name would begin with caps
followQuery.equalTo("followedBy", currentUser);
followQuery.find().then(function(follows) {
    // assume underscorejs
    var followedUsers = _.map(follows, function(f) {
        return f.get("following");
    });
    var tweetQuery = new Parse.Query("tweet");
    tweetQuery.containedIn("tweetBy", followedUsers);
    // aggressively fetch the authoring user info
    tweetQuery.include("tweetBy");
    return tweetQuery.find();
}).then(function(tweets) {
    // tweets are tweets by users followed by the given user
});

Please see edit. Used include on the tweetQuery to fetch the related user who authored the tweet. You can use this idea on any pointer column.
