It appears to me that Compent is designed so that you can only have
one instance of any given type per controller per request.  What if I
want to use a class in one of my controllers that doesn't neatly fit
the pattern of a Component, because I may want to create more than one
instance per request?

In other words, I'd like to instantiate it in my code like this:

$my_instance = new MyClass($some_arg);
$another_instance = new MyClass($another_arg);, ...

If I define it in app/libs/my_class.php, can I still load it with
App::import()?  I tried it but couldn't figure out what arguments to
use in import()?  http://api13.cakephp.org/class/app#method-Appimport.
I had to fall back on require_once().  I'm sure there is a more
standard way to accomplish this, but I'm still learning Cake.
