Files in the /models folder are executed by the framework in a prepared environment, so they are not to be imported (i.e., they are not standard Python modules). Same goes for controllers. If you want to create a Python module and import it, put it in the /modules folder or anywhere on the PYTHONPATH. Note, model files are executed in alphabetical order. For more details, see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04#Workflow.
