I couldn't agree more.
An absolute path include resulted in the same thing, the class was available
in the bootstrap only. Stranger yet, I discovered that "ANYTHING" contained
in the AppController was only available in that controller ... STRANGER YET
not even $this->set() would pass data out of the AppController.
Ok, something is REALLY wrong here.
I scrapped the 2.0 RC2 and replaced with RC3 core and presto, problem
solved. Everything works as expected from the AppController (no need for the
bootstrap).
I have another app running flawlessly off the same RC2 core so I'm a bit
clueless as to what the cause of the problem could have been. My best guess
is that something somewhere got corrupted ... story of my life :)
Thanks for the help,
- Ed
