Re: Accessing one model from another (unrelated) model
Hi,
this is a bit more cakeish:
App::import('Product', 'Product');
$this-Product = new Product();
Now you can use the model as you ordinary would with e.g.
$this-Product-find(...)

I may rewrite it to use a behaviour, but at least it's working for
now!
Thanks again,

Re: Accessing one model from another (unrelated) model
Question: which is the preferred method; App::import or loadModel?

Re: Accessing one model from another (unrelated) model
I guess there are a few options. If the data is coming from a database, you could use loadModel wherever needed (http://book.cakephp.org/view/992/loadModel). If it is not coming from a database (it's hard coded) you could use a behaviour from within the models that need the information. If you want to get to it from controllers only, then substitute behaviour for component, or you could even add the data to your config.php file and extract it using Configure::read. I *think* the behaviour route would perform better.

Re: Accessing one model from another (unrelated) model
You could make use of the $uses variable.
Say you need to access the unrelated table Bar from controller Foo,
you would add a uses variable for something like:
$uses = array('Foo', 'Bar');

Re: Accessing one model from another (unrelated) model
...but the question was a model in a model, not in a controller.
I'm using this in my model class:
$Category = ClassRegistry::init(Category);
$category = $Category-findById($underThisCategoryId);
Don't know if there's a better way. loadModel would be nicer I suppose.
