Hi Anja
Sorry, I think I've replied too fast: $uses is for controllers, not
models... (I think you need to use App::import("Model","otherModel")
to use a non-associated model)
Anyway, if your model belongsTo your otherModel (and thus your
otherModel hasOne or hasMany your model), then from your model, your
otherModel should be accessible with:
$this->otherModel
