HMVC - Extend MX_Controller gives me an error, CI_Controller do not!? - El Forum - 10-14-2012

I read that I should extend with MX_Controller if I use HMVC for codeigniter. But I've never managed to ever extend that. I've always used CI_Controller.
Now, can anyone explain to me why that is - and what's the point of saying I should use MX_Controller when I can't?

If you just want to have modular separation, you are fine with extending CI_Controller. If you want to call other modules' controllers from within your current controller, both controllers need to extend MX_Controller.
If you get an error extending MX_Controller make sure you are including the MX_Controller file:
Code:
include(APPPATH . 'third_party/MX/Controller.php');
