Looks like you would define those methods in your model classes (when needed). I would say this whole approach is overly complex, though. If you want to avoid the overhead of defining models, first simply set lazy_tables=True <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Lazy-Tables>. If that's not enough, then try conditional models <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Conditional-models>. Finally, if you would like to move model definitions to modules, you can do so by simply wrapping standard web2py db.define_table calls inside a function rather than than using the complex class-based approach shown in this slice.
