You mentioned you "can't seem to inject a controller into another controller".
You are right you can't do this and you are not supposed to. There are two ways to handle this. First if you want shared functionality between controllers, which seems like the correct way to go, then you should create a service and inject that service into both controllers. That's the preferred approach. Alternatively you can communicate between controllers by using the $broadcast() and $on() methods on the $scope.
