Re: Use classes from a different controller

classic design failure
you shouldn't (ever) use a controller in another controller

design your actions the way that they use the model to get the data
this way you can call these model methods from other controllers, as
well

so it boils down to
$this->Model->ownPosts($uid)

etc
