Answer 2

I referenced the manual to find a solution to this.

public function that_controller_function_you_are_writing () {

    # this is cakes way of running required
    App::import('Controller', 'Users');
    $UsersController = new UsersController;

    # now you can reference your controller like any other PHP class
    $UsersController->that_function_you_needed();
}
