Thanks Fahad and euromark. App::import() is a good method.
Althougt we should not use helper in controller or model, but sometimes they
also become useful.
For example, in my project, I need created a component called RssComponent.
And in this component, I have to make a new link which is based on
$html->url(). So, importing ('Helper','Html') is indeed.
Thank you very much.
