Not necessarily. I am just wondering if it is possible to have a controller within a sub-folder of the "Controllers" folder. like "app/ Controllers/user/register/newuser" where "user" is a sub folder, and "register" is the controller.
I can't come up with any specific example of why I need this, though I still want to know if it's possible. Right now I am going to achieve the same intent just by importing the functions from the "register" controller into another controller in the "Controllers" folder. I think that should be the way to do it anyway, as the current web2py app/controller/function/arg setup is clear, simple, and very workable.
