"Partial Template" Error: Argument 'MyController' is not a function, got undefined - angularjs

Question

I am getting the above error within a partial template loaded into the main html. When I declare the controller as global it works (MyController1), also when I declare the controller directly within "app.controllers" it works, but when I declare the controller (MyController) as part of the partial template the above error appears. Any help?
Code
<div ng-controller='MyController1'>
<span ng-bind="mydesc"></span>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function MyController1($scope) {
$scope.mydesc = "Direct Global Definition";
console.log('in Direct');
}
angular.module('app.controllers').controller('MyController',['$scope',function($scope) {
$scope.mydesc = "Defined as part of Controller Inline";
}]);
</script>
The above code works, but when I change ng-controller="MyController1" to ng-controller="MyController", the error appears.
I don't want to use global functions and I can't add every partial controller to "app.controllers".

Looks, like you use angular 1.3 version.
In that version global functions as controllers were disabled according to release notes, but still, you're able to use them. All you need to do is to configure controller provider to allow global methods to be used as controllers.
Here is full working code
<div ng-app="app.controllers" ng-controller="MyController1">
<span ng-bind="mydesc"></span>
</div>
Though it's not recommended to use global methods.
function MyController1($scope) {
$scope.mydesc = "Direct Global Definition";
}
app = angular.module('app.controllers', []);
app.config(['$controllerProvider', function($controllerProvider) {
$controllerProvider.allowGlobals();
}]);
app.controller('MyController', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.mydesc = "Regular definition";
}]);
