Do not call another model from a model. that's not the mvc pattern thing. u just need to call a model in a controller.

Depending on the application you may want to have a model extend another model, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
A classic example is having a base "product" model and from their having several models extending it, perhaps a "buy_product", a "sell_product", a "admin_panel_for_product", a "product_inventory", etc. Your "base" product model would contain all the universal "product" methods that the other child models need.
The above mentioned scenario is no different than having a "MY_Model", except it's on a bit more of a micro/specific scale.
