As is noted in the documentation, Controller::loadModel functions in such a way so that when Controller::$persistModel is set to true, the model you specify will also be persisted. This is the recommended method for loading additional models into a controller, but should only be used when the specified model is otherwise unreachable through normal means (e.g. associations).

Really, Controller::loadModel is a specialized wrapper for ClassRegistry::init, which is itself a factory-based wrapper for App::import, which is a class-loader wrapper for the PHP native ‘require’ construct. Each additional layer of abstraction performs a slightly different role; it’s up to you to determine which is most appropriate.

@michas: “Yes the old loadModel() function from basics was deprecated.
However the loadModel() method in Controller is still used.

Controller::loadModel(‘Car’) can also be $this->loadModel(‘Car’);
