Instantiating a controller

hi there,

I ve been trying to find a way to instantiace a controller as one
would do outside cake. That is, i would like to be able to call:

$s = new StatisticsController();

in my views, or anywhere else. I know that this can be done using the
requestAction approach but this is such an overkill for a simple
method invocation (since it actually performs an HTTP request,
dispatches it as all other requests in cake, and then ends up invoking
the appropriate function/controller. The error i m getting is related
to the classpath, do i need to use require_once or some other
importing mechanism? Alternatively, is there a way to invoke a
controller method, without the underlying http request?

thanks guys,

jason
