Told to be associated (7)

I believe the answer is:

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'told' is the first definition.
(as in relating a story)

'be associated' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for related that I've seen before include "Recounted" , "Akin, associated" , "Father and son have to be" , "similar" , "Connected by blood or marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
