I use var $uses for the primary model of the controller e.g. Posts => uses Post Contact => uses Tools.Contact (Plugin model) MembersController => uses User Account => uses User etc
I also think this is the normal use case for this property and would never put more than one model into it. The main reason you got that is that there are controllers (see Account) that need to use a custom model (inflections won't work here). that's why you can override it manually. it most cases, of course, you don't even have to touch this property.
