There is a getModel function from Felix here
http://www.thinkingphp.org/2007/01/22/how-to-properly-create-a-model-instance-manually/
Put that in a component called common and then at the top of the
component you want to use set $components = array('common') to make
the function available.
Then simply do $Mytable = $this->common->getModel('MyTable');
Thereafter you can do whatever you need, e.g. $results = $MyTable-
>findall();
