  That's the correct syntax. Are you sure those are related? That error message has to do with loading in a twitter config file. Perhaps you are extending a base controller that is trying to load in that config file?

  the controller in which i'm trying to load the models extends Fuel_base_controller
  the twitter model extends Base_module_model

  I found where the problem is,
  Inside my twitter model i'm loading the config
  $this->config->load('twitter');
  
  but apparently this is not needed at all... but why?
  
  How do i load the twitter.php config file inside modules/twitter/config then?

  Try $this->config->module_load('twitter', 'twitter');

  So basically, it looks like I can't load a config file from the module's model: i have to load it from the controller, then i see no errors...
  But why? It would make total sense that the model loads the config file autonomously ... or am i doing something wrong??
  
  What the hell i'm pulling my hair on this!!!
  
  This is the controller OUTSIDE of the 'twitter' module (part of another advanced module)

  
  require_once(FUEL_PATH.'libraries/Fuel_base_controller.php');
  class Akademie extends Fuel_base_controller {
  
  
  	function __construct()
  	{
  		parent::__construct();
  		$this->load->module_model('twitter', 'tweets_model');
  	}
  	
  	
  	function featured()
  	{
  	
          $tweets = $this->tweets_model->get_latest_tweets();	
  	}
  	
  }
  

  This one gives that damn error!!!
  But if i do the same thing from the 'twitter' controller inside the twitter module, all goes fine...

  Solution
  
  So,
  In the end I moved the $this->config->load calls to the controllers that need to load the model. But I found out that if you want to load the configuration file of a model outside of the current module, you have to add the 4th param to the config->load function like this

  
  		$this->config->load('twitter', FALSE, TRUE, 'twitter'); 
   

  which is the 'module' parameter.
  Hope this helps someone...
