App::import and Classregistry

Hi

I was writing tests for controllers in a plugin and found that many
tests failed beacause the controller instantiated the model as a
generic AppModel class. I'm using this approach by Mark Story:

http://mark-story.com/posts/view/testing-cakephp-controllers-the-hard-way

(By the way, the actions worked well in the old "manual browser
testing" so this issue could be related to the test suite and plugins.)

This test failed:

function testGroupModelInstance() {
$this->assertEqual(get_class($this->Groups->Group), 'Group');
}

I found that calling App:import('Model') at the beginning solves the
issue

App::import('Accounts.Group');

I din't find this well documented, so I comment here for discussion.
