    Models should not be using controllers.

    To clarify, using the MVC pattern, the user communicates with the controller which manipulates the model which dispatches its results to the view back to the user.

    Update to Doug’s response:

    The most logical way to explain how the components work is by starting from the model, then going through the controller, and finally reaching the view. And "MCV" would not have been nearly as appealing a name to the ear as "MVC."
