Controller Subfolders

After reading your reply I don't think you quite understood why I wanted sub folders. Ill try to explain what I mean.

In my admin area at the top I have a drop down menu system much like ExpressionEngine. One option is
Code:
System
   -> Users
   -> Settings
   -> etc
If the user clicks on 'Users' I want them to go to a page showing them the list of users. If they click on 'Settings' I want it to show the settings and so on. BUT if they click on 'System' I want it to show a page which shows the sub options 'Users','Settings'. That's all this system_default controller would do.

Now for why I wanted to be able to put it in its own sub folder. This was the structure I wanted.
Code:
admin/
   system/
      default.php
      users.php
      settings.php

The reason for this mean then all code to do with managing the system is within a single folder. This would mean then you would have a new folder for each parent menu item thus keeping the code modular.

So If I wanted to add a menu item to control site pages the structure would be as follws
Code:
admin/
   pages/
     default.php
     pages.php
     templtes.php
     stylesheets.php
   system/
     default.php
     users.php
     settings.php

I could probably do what you said, but then I would be splitting up the code to view the front page of a controller and the inner subfuctions. Which to me seems to complicate the matter.

The reason I said I would have to have a large controller is it would have a single controller 'System' which would do the job of the folder (IE keep all code related to system operations together)
