I import modules from the app all the time. I normally put them in modules/ but it makes no difference if they are in controllers/. I would not do it this way not nothing technically prevents it if you have the __init__.py file.
You can define forms in modules and they will be visible everywehere. You can define them in views if you only need them in views. Voltron is very concerned about doing this as fast as possible, hence they should be in modules so that the pyc are cached by Python.
