This functionality was ditched prior to 0.8.0 as it added too much
overhead, and won't be added again anytime soon. Basically, keeping
track of a stack of directories *per* *module*, and then having to
search each *set* of directories for a controller was very resource
intensive, for very little benefit.
If you need several directories of controllers all in the same
namespace, you might want to try using symlinks or consolidating.
Alternatively, you can implement your own dispatcher and front
controller -- you'd need to override the front controller's
add/setControllerDirectory() methods, and the dispatcher's
getControllerName() method.
