Modules have to be imported -- only classes/objects defined in model files are available in all controllers (and views). Note, by default, the web2py globals (i.e., request, response, session, validators, HTML helpers) will not be available in your modules, so you either have to pass them in as arguments to classes/functions, or use the new thread local 'current' object. For some examples of the latter, see http://martin.tecnodoc.com.ar/default/post/2011/09/12/7_optimize-your-web2py-app-using-the-new-import-method.
