The best place to look for advice would be the core code itself. In
libs/controller/controller.php, at the end of the paginate() function,
it ensures that the paginator helper will be loaded with this code:

if (!in_array('Paginator', $this->helpers) && !array_key_exists
('Paginator', $this->helpers)) {
  $this->helpers[] = 'Paginator';
}

If that seems long-winded, add a method to AppController:

function useHelper($helper) {
  $helpers = func_get_args();
  foreach($helpers as $helper) {
    if (!in_array($helper, $this->helpers) && !array_key_exists
($helper, $this->helpers)) {
      $this->helpers[] = $helper;
    }
  }
}

Then in your action you can do

$this->useHelper('Textile', 'Javascript');
