Short answer - no.
The simplest way around your problem as far as i can see, is to use a MY_Controller. This way you can store functions that may be used in many controllers all in one place. to do this create a MY_Controller.php file in the libraries folder of your application.
Code:
<?php
class MY_Controller extends Controller{
function MY_Controller()
{
parent::Controller();
}
}
Then have all of your controllers inherit this class:
Code:
<?php
class Controller_name extends MY_Controller{
function __construct()
{
parent::MY_Controller();
}
}
This way any functions in your MY_controller will also be inherited by the controller.
Hope this helps.
