Re: Shared code for Models but not in AppModel

Thanks man. I dont actually expect magic. Although Cake does do some
things magically, I am never sure where the magic ends and my
ignorance begins. In all my searching I never actually found a
document that stated what you did. I realized that I could load the
classes but was not sure if I was somehow stepping around the
framework. I always try to do things in the Cake way if at all
possible.
