Modular Extensions - HMVC version 5.2

[quote author="wiredesignz" date="1215845076"]A module should be considered as a mini application, self contained and controllers are the entry point.

An auth module, for instance, would contain controllers, libraries, helpers and views related to auth, the auth controller(s) would be called to get user status, display login form, check privileges, and anything else related to auth you might like to add.[/quote]
I'd like to confirm I'm going about this the right way if I may.

If I have:

Code:

L modules
   L module1
      L controllers
         module1.php
      L libraries
         module1_lib.php
   L module2
      L controllers
         module2.php
      L libraries
         module2_lib.php

What I've been doing to call Module2 resources from Module1 is to set up accessors like so:

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**
* Module2 Module Controller
*
**/
class Module2 extends Controller {

    function __constructor()
    {
    parent::Controller();
    }

    function getModel($model, $name = '', $db_conn = false)
    {
        $this->load->model($model, $name, $db_conn);
        log_message('debug', get_class($this)." Model Initialized");
    }

    function getLibrary()
    {
        $this->load->library('module2_lib');
        log_message('debug', get_class($this)." Library Initialized");
    }
    
    function index()
    {        

    }

}

Is that better? Or am I still off track?

Also, for some of the libraries I am using they would sometimes get a reference to the CI object and load resources from within that library. Would it be better HMVC form to move those responsibilities from the module's library to the module's controller? Using the above code as an example something like:

Code:

function getLibrary()
    {
        $this->load->library('module2_lib');

        //load any resources needed by this library
        $this->module('module3')->getLibrary();

        log_message('debug', get_class($this)." Library Initialized");
    }

I think I'm a little hung up on the CI way of loading or even how Matchbox does it where you can load a resource (eg. library) from another module straight away using something like

Code:

$this->CI->load->module_library('moduleName','libraryName');

...just trying to get my head wrapped around this.
