As far as I know, using $this->load (Loader class i.e.), you can't. Even if you directly include like in the following way:

application/controllers/test.php

handle();
    }
}

dummy.php

It(including) won't work because you specifically disallowed direct access! But, if you don't disallow that, then, your controller code is prone to exploitation, and you won't have a problem.

So, one way to do it if the other controller part of another codeigniter project is, using command line.

dummy.php

handle();
    }
}

application/controllers/test.php

public function handle(){
    exec("cd /absolute/path/to/dummyproject; php index.php dummy handle;");
}

You can further find out how to pass command line arguments too.
