app = angular.module('app')

AbstractController = ($scope) ->
  $scope.namespace = 'abstract' unless $scope.namespace
  
  # to save you a lot of typing...
  namespace = $scope[$scope.namespace];
  
  namespace.setup = (value) ->
    namespace.setupComplete = true
    namespace.x = value
    
AbstractController.$inject = ['$scope']

app.controller 'FooController', ($scope, $injector, $log) ->
  $scope.namespace = 'foo';
  $injector.invoke AbstractController, this, {$scope: $scope}
  
  #to save you a lot of typing...
  namespace = $scope[$scope.namespace];
  namespace.setup('bar')
  
  $log.log namespace.x
  # 'bar'
