Well if you are going to override the constructor you should do so
with all the params. Otherwise certain things stop working well. As
for TriadApi, you can just import TriadApi before the classes that use
it.
App::import('Model', 'TriadApi');
class Subscriber extends TriadApi {
Like that. If you don't want all the imports for some reason, just
import Triad Api at the bottom of AppModel
