I think you're very confused here.

Each model, view and controller is its own package, and nothing to do 
with $c (which @ISA Catalyst), doesn't inherit from Catalyst etc.

Therefore calling methods which exist in code for Catalyst _will never_ 
work for anything which isn't the MyApp class, or $c (which is an 
instance of that class).

If you're confused about what inherits from what, then try the following 
code snippet:

use MRO::Compat;
warn(__PACKAGE__ . ' inherits from: ' . join(', ', @{ 
mro_get_linear_isa(__PACKAGE__) });

Which should help to clarify what inherits from what.
