best use of var $uses in a controller

Is there ever a time when it is considered best practices to use var
$uses for access to a model from a controller. The cakephp manual
seems to say to use $this->Model->AssociatedModel when there is an
association and $this->loadModel('UnassociatedModel') when there
isn't. Does var $uses not appear in well written code?
