SecondController extends FirstController extends AppController: not supported? --psybear

Hey everybody

I'm refactoring an application with some controllers and wanted to
"divide" them into a group X (that needs some components) and a group
Y that needs some other components. My idea:

class AppController {
var $components = array('Html', 'Form');
}

class XController extends AppController {
var $components = array('X1', 'X2');
}

class YController extends AppController {
var $components = array('Y1', 'Y2');
}

Now every other controller should inherit from XController or from
YController like this:

class SomeXController extends XController {
var $components = array('Bla');
}

I expected XController now to have loaded the following components:
Html, Form, X1, X2, and Bla. But sadly it doesn't have all of them! It
seems CakePHP doesn't allow controller inheritance over more than only
1 level. Is this true? Is there any known work-around?

Thanks a lot for help
Josh
