Re: accessing different models in controller

I assume there is a relation between polls and featured_poll? If so
you should be able to get them by possibly increasing your recursive
to 2 I believe. That or $this->Club->Poll->FeaturedPoll->find('all')
if there is no association add this to your controller
var $uses = array('Club','FeaturedPoll');
the uses variable says which models to load for that controller. If
you only use it once and don't want to load the the model up each time
which can slow down your controller some but not lots or anything
since you are only loading 2 models, but you can check out bindModel
in cakephp docs
