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.
