In standard CI, no, you can't.
You can with a Modular solution, like Modular CI.

Please give an example... Is it something like calling a function declared in controller A from controller B?
If that is so you can do this:
Controller A
Code:
<?php
class Conta extends Controller {
function Conta(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
}
function test_function(){
echo("It's working!!!");
}
}
/* End of file conta.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/ */Code:
<?php
require_once("conta.php");
class Contb extends ContA{
function Contb(){
parent::Conta();
}
function index(){
}
}
/* End of file contb.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/ */You can now call function test_function() like http://localhost/contb/test_function even if you have no test_function() in Contb controller. The Contb controller extends the Conta controller inheriting all its function/methods.
Have Phun!

That's not one controller calling another, that is extending a class. Totally different concept.

if you find you have code in one controller that you would like to access from another controller then you probably need to move that common code into a library and then call the library from each controller
