Not sure if this was just your example, but you should refer to plugins and components using camel case instead of underscores: 

$components = array('PluginName.ComponentName'); 
$this->ComponentName->xyz();

This seems to work for me - I am running using Cake 1.3.

Have you tried requestAction?, perhaps you could use something like

$this->requestAction('/Plugin_name/Component_name/xyz');

you can get more information about requestAction at the online documentation
