I was going to add that, but Jim mention it... You can first do what Leonel says, keep it simple and not create complex object at first that may lead to overlapping or side effect when you want to share method among object and instead just write controller function and organize in "module" like fashion (I put module between quotes here as controllers files are not properly module). When you discover that you some controller helper function (function that exist beside controller function) are useful in more then one controller file, you put them in modules/some_file.py and import them where you need them... This is from my point of view the way most web2py users are doing as most of us are in Agile mode and not such kind of waterfalls development where you plan things in details before implement anything...
