I've got a component to do some common functions for a number of controllers. When I'm in those controllers, I can use globally-common functions from the app_controller. But when I'm in a component called by a controller, those functions from the app_controller aren't available. Isn't that sort of the point of the app_controller, and since a component is under a controller, shouldn't it be able to access? I don't quite understand why $this loses all its information once you roll into a component.
Why is this the case (interested in the theory behind this part of the MVC), and is there a best practice way to access things from the app_controller in a component?
