and that's where MVC and OOP are very useful
MVC because:
I'm pretty sure some parts of your components can be turned in Model/
Behavior/Datasource (gData, Flicker data access, ... are Model's
logic)
OOP because:
why your ServicesController loads all components when it only needs
some?
Maybe you should separate in several controllers that inherit
ServicesController (YahooServicesController,
GoogleServicesController, ...)
That way, each sub-ServicesController has its own $components list.
Dont' forget that in CakePHP, there's still PHP ;-)
