I am not entirely sure of what you are going after, but if
otherController and Foo are related in some way, you can do the
following.
public function myaction(){
$this->otherController->Foo->setText("hello world");
$this->set('foo', $this->otherController->Foo);
}
That said, in general if there is some "view" code that you want to
share between controllers (you mentioned a grid or table which has
similar properties) you can use an Element which is accessible from
any view.
Here is the link to the Elements section of the Manual for more info.

Good luck.
