Re: Using one model from another

If the models are truly independent, then you can do this:
$this->loadModel('YourModelName');

Then, just use the new model as you would any other model:
$result = $this->YourModelName->function($variable);

If they are not independent and are actually related, then by setting up the associations correctly ($belongsTo, $hasMany etc) you can access the model without doing loadModel.

Don't forget that you can daisy chain models too:
$this->RelatedModel->SisterModel->FatherModel->BrotherModel->function();
