Each case you will have one approach that better resolve your needs. Firstly, you should avoid this kind of situation, off course this is not possible always but if you do RESTFul apps this kind of situation is not so usual.
Well, going direct to your problem, you should load all dependencies on second controller, and yes, this lead you to an not DRY environment. First, you should not have many variables being assigned per action, this is a bad practice, anyway, you can have a module to encapsulate filters included in both controllers... this can sound not practical, but in truth this avoid you to forget to alter the behavior in one side without affect the other...
