You should also seriously consider Rick Jolly's idea using __autoload() if you are developing under PHP5.
This would prevent including unnecessary base classes.

Ok thanks everyone for their help, for anyone that stumbles across this here is my all my code to get multiple controllers.
At the end of config.php
Code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| AUTOLOAD CONTROLLERS
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
*/
function __autoload($class)
{
if(strstr($class,'_Controller'))
{
include_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/' . $class . EXT);
}
}In libraries/MY_Controller.php (Variables can be passed to all extended controllers)
Code:
class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
function MY_Controller()
{
parent::Controller();
}
}Code:
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Base_controller extends Controller
{
public $navigation = NULL;
public $footer = NULL;
function Base_controller()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->navigation();
$this->footercopy();
}
function navigation()
{
$this->navigation['navigation'] = array("Home", "Test", "contact");
$this->data['frontend_navigation'] = $this->load->view ('common/frontend_navigation', $this->navigation, TRUE);
}
function footercopy()
{
$this->data['footer'] = '© '.date('Y').' '.$this->config->item('project');
}
}
