CakePHP 2.3 parent::beforeFilter Gets called twice

This happens in CakePHP 2.3.

If you define a beforeFilter() method in any of your controllers and call

  public function beforeFilter(){      parent::beforeFilter();      .... //Other controller code here  }
 

CakePHP calls your controller beforeFilter() which already contains a call to parent::beforeFilter() and then calls the AppController's beforeFilter() again.

Most times my controller contains component settings that are defined in the AppController beforeFilter() method. It is important that these settings be defined before my controller methods are called. This can only be achieved by ensuring the parent::beforeFilter() call is made in my controller's beforeFilter() method.
