Controller within Controller Issue

In CodeIgniter 2.2.0 I was able to create a Controller object inside a Controller.

Yeah, don't do that. It's a really bad anti-pattern for a framework like CodeIgniter.

Instead, you may want to move the relevant code in the "recipient controller" into a model instead. There is a one-to-one relationship between an HTTP request and a controller, but a one-to-many between controllers and models.

This may change in future versions, but for 2.2 and 3.0-develop as currently implemented, that's how it is.
