Hey Guys,

I have a system with products and categories.

In the CategoriesController there is a method breadcrumb($id) that
makes use of the Category model via

$this->Category->read();

In my ProductsController i'd also like to have access to the the
breadcrumb($id) so I have used the code:

App::import('Controller', 'Categories');
$categories = new CategoriesController();

This works fine but the issue arises when I try to run:

$categories->breadcrumb($id);

I receive an error of: Fatal error: Call to undefined method
stdClass::read() . Which seems to be flagging because the Category
model is not defined?

I can work around it by creating an element or using requestAction or
even checking for the existence of the model inside the controller
with something like:

if (!empty($this->Category))
{
    App::import('Model', 'Category');
}

But these all seem very hacky and id have to repeat the process for
every function I want to use. Is there an elegant way around this
problem?

Thanks for reading :)
