Adding multiple Models into a component.

Question

in my component Centros I have the view and model for Hospitals, working fine. I want to call a general model. general.php located in the models folder.

class CentrosModelGeneral extends JModelItem
{
    protected $general;
    public function getFck()
    {
        if (!isset($this->general))
        {
            $this->general = 'Hello World!';
        }
        return $this->general;
    }
}

I want to access into the general model from my hospìtal component. So, inside my function display() I am trying this:

    $model = JModelLegacy::getInstance( 'general', 'CentrosModel');
    var_dump ($model->get('fck'));

The var_dump gives me a null value. :( What is wrong?. The var_duymp($model); gives me a long StdClass.

object(CentrosModelGeneral)[360]

     protected 'general' => null
      protected '_item' => null
      protected '_context' => string 'group.type' (length=10)
      protected '__state_set' => null
      protected '_db' => 
     protected 'name' => string 'general' (length=7)
     protected 'option' => string 'com_centros' (length=11)
     protected 'state' => 

So, it looks like is working, but i dont know how to call the getFck function..

Any idea?

Okey this was a stupid question, I just needed to add:

    var_dump ($model->getFck());
