The proper way is to load them both in the controller.
This way you can access them both.

Nonsense. You can load a model inside a model all you want. You should only load them both in the controller if you think you'll need both in the controller. And you use the exact same syntax as you would in a controller.

so i can do like this :
Code:
class User_model extends CI_Model
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model(array('level_model'));
}
public function User_data()
{
//code goes here
}
}can i do like this include level_model inside user_model or vice versa ?

You don't have to use
Code:
$this->load->model(array('level_model'));It's (slightly) faster to just use
[code]
$this->load->model('level_model');
[code]
since it won't loop over every element in the passed array
Just as a side remark, but you can of course load one model in another model.
