Sounds like you've got a component where you should probably have a
datasource for the gateway and a Message model (or, some other M based
stuff).
I have an email model (which internally - either sets up a controller
and the email component and renders the view to get the content, or
calls requestAction with appropriate params), and payment model (same,
for the HTTPSocket content) for the same sort of reasoning.

I have a similar problem at the back of my mind, which I planned to
solve by using a plugin component as the plugin entry point/interface,
and therefore you'd just (either dynamically or otherwise) include the
plugin's component in your controller to make use of it.

It'd be neat to hear a little more about your current core
architecture, since I have the need to do something (probably)
similar.

anyway, controller actions are supposed to be under_scored and that's
the 'fix' for your auth woes imo (or simply if (!empty($this->params
['requested'])) { $this->Auth->allow('*'); }
