how to call parent method with dependencies in angularjs - angularjs

Question

I am trying to use div with ng-click for routing:
ng-click="go('/item/{{item.id}}').
I can call $parent.go or even go when using ParentCtrl. But ParentCtrl_2 does not work at all. I tried to look for some answers, but can't figure it out. What am I missing?
app.controller('ParentCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.go = function(path) {
console.log(path);
}
}
);
app.controller('ParentCtrl_2', ['$scope', '$location',
function($scope, $location) {
$scope.go = function(path) {
$location.path(path);
}
}
]);
app.controller('ChildCtrl', ['$scope', '$routeParams',
function($scope, $routeParams) {
...
}
]);

There are number of unanswered questions here but, like what is the structure of your html ng-controller structure.
Also the call sytax in html is wrong for
ng-click="go('/item/{{item.id}}')
It should be
ng-click="go('/item/'+ item.id)"
Said that depending on where the ng-click is declared it would have access to parent methods. If you can access a method using $parent then you can access the method directly due to prototypal inheritance.
If structure is like
<div ng-controller='ParentCtrl'>
<div ng-controller='ParentCtrl_2'>
<div ng-controller='ChildCtrl'>
<!-- ng-click somewhere here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then you access the ParentCtrl_2 method go whenever you call.
If it is
<div ng-controller='ParentCtrl'>
<div ng-controller='ParentCtrl_2'>
</div>
<div ng-controller='ChildCtrl'>
<!-- ng-click somewhere here -->
</div>
</div>
Then you have access to ParentCtrl method go method only.
