authentication

Given the following:

I have an application that allows people to login through twitter, myspace, yahoo, and google
User creates initial account by logging in through Google
User logs out
User logs back in using Yahoo.

...is there a recommended way for the application to associate those two accounts together? Stack Overflow has this functionality but it seems like they need the user to manually say "this account google account is associated with that yahoo one". Is there no way to do this automatically?
