Not sure what you try to do, but if myindex has to be called like this :
http://domain/app/controller/myindex... It has to be in the controller...
The functions you can put in module are sub-function, the one you use in
the main function that server pages...
For example you could have a sub-function like this in controller that
nerver render a page :
__subFunc1(arg1, arg2):
...
return ...
or
subFunc2(arg1, arg2):
...
return ...
You can put those functions into module to reuse them in all your
controllers.
But main functions the one that not taking argument has to be in controller
as far as I understand.
