That's not going to work.

That's not how my example worked.,

As I said before, Catalyst will treat the namespace corresponding to the
file and any -subnamespaces- as components to load.

Which is why my example was more like Controller/Foo.pm containing
MyApp::Controller::Foo::Child[123].

We don't go round ranbdomly instnatiating every package we find in any
file under Model/View/Controller - *that* would be a bug. Not doing so is
a feature :)
