That's a terrible idea, would cost you so much in performance,
maitainability and logic.
I think you should re-think your design principles, trying to keep it
a little more simple and tided to a rule.
Maybe moving some logic to the model side - Fat Model, Skinny
Controller - you could dynamically load a Model class,
wich would make much more sense and would be much lighter. You'd only
have to create a pattern for your models so that they
could be easily used by the same controller - like an interface.
