If you're specifying all your table classes, consider using either
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Plain or the newer Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema
(which will want a DBIx::Class::Schema class external to the MyApp::Model::
tree).

What you definitely want though is *one* class that inherits from someting
under Catalyst::Model::* only. What you've done there is try and make every
table class a Loader-based model that'll try and load a copy of your entire
database - and doesn't have the appropriate table-class methods available,
which is probably why it couldn't load it.

Your DBIC table classes should *never* inherit from a Catalyst::Model::*
class though; after all, an object of one of those classes represents a row
in the table, not a Catalyst model component :)
