Calling Models from other Models depends on autoload order.

Hello,

If you have models A, B and C with A being the main model and B and C being smaller sub-models, you cannot call functions in B and C from A if the order of inclusion in autoload.php is

Code:

$autoload['model'] = array('a', 'b', 'c');

You have to do

Code:

$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->a->function();
$CI->b->function();

However, if you change the order to be

Code:

$autoload['model'] = array('b', 'c', 'a');

You can call the functions within B and C from A as expected, using

Code:

$this->a->function();
$this->b->function();

Don't do it.

You can extend one Model from another and incorporate everything so simply.

In my case these were completely separate Models and would not make sense to be extended.
