A controller may "use" more than one model. (Or none at all.)
public $uses = array('Model1', 'Model2');
However, as you're new to Cake I recommend you don't do that. Once you're
comfortable with Cake's conventions you'll understand better when to do
that.
Your UsersController would contain methods (actions) for logging in and
out, resetting passwords, listing Users for the admin, etc.
Note that once you've set up your associations you can chain the models
together:
$data = $this->Test->Questions->find('all', ...);
If you haven't already, go through the blog tutorial. It doesn't include
everything you'll need to know but it should give you a better idea of how
to create an application with Cake.
