You can create «MY_Model» place it on «Application/core». You can afterwards, extend «MY_Model», instead of «CI_Model». Actually, you can have many models on «MY_Model» (using require_once(APPPATH.'/core/some_other_model_name.php')), since «Codeigniter» only suports loading one MY_MODEL. To finish, you can then, on your models, extend from «some_other_model_name». This means that you can actually, inherit from a diferent model, solving your nead on loading a model into model.

This link is for MY_Controller but same principle applies for MY_Model http://codeigniter.com/wiki/MY_Controller_-_how_to_extend_the_CI_Controller/

Hope this helps!

You really shouldn't be loading models into other models. If models share behavior you can use inheritance but loading of models should always be done within the controller.
