controller subdir way is no longer possible. And it is removed from latest version of cakephp. On the other hand you can use plugins instead of this. deizel is right you can follow what he said.

Yes, you can do this using App::build(). All it does is tell Cake where to find models, controllers, etc.

App::build(array('Model' => array('/a/full/path/to/models/')));

Now Cake will look for anything using the Model package in /a/full/path/to/models/.

Better yet, there's a plugin that does this for you automatically: https://github.com/ichikaway/AutoAppBuild

Now while this answers the original question, I think you might want to look into Routing prefixes as a better solution to your problem.

If you want to have three different interface for each role you can create three different layout and call them based on the role. Accessibility wise you can setup acl component and give authorization to the modules based on the role.
