Got functionality that lives in the controller that you need to access from an object's Model? Let's say your function is called MyFunction, this is how it would play out:

MyObjectClassName.php:

// return the function of the same name, from the controller
 public function MyFunction(){
   $class = $this->ClassName . "_Controller";
   $controller = new $class($this);
   return $controller->MyFunction();
 }
