angular modal ui bootstrap: Can i use another controller child of ModalInstanceCtrl?

Question

I'm new in angular and my english is not very good, so i try to explain my problem the best i can.

I'm using the ui.bootstrap.modal in my project, and i need that the modal window i open can be controlled by another controller and not only ModalInstanceCtrl. I want to ModalInstanceCtrl manage the common actions in a modal window, (set title, close, etc..) and then another controller (SpecificController) manage specific actions.

So this is my modal template view now:

<h1>
   {{title}} 
   <a ng-click="closemodal()">x</a>
</h1>
<div ng-include  src="specificTemplate.html" ng-controller="SpecificController"></div>

My idea is that specificTemplate.html and SpecificController can be set as a variables in the future and so having a system for manage modal windows with common actions, and other specific actions for each modal window. The include template works fine, but with the ng-controller label i get the following error:

Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $modalInstanceProvider <- $modalInstance

I have SpeficController defined in my controllers section.

In other similar questions in StackOverflow, the problem were that ng-controller="ModalInstanceCtrl" was set in the template, but i want/need another controller for specific actions as a child one. How can fix this?

There are several ways you can manage this, but first of all - don't inject $modalInstance into SpecificController. If you need to close (or dismiss) a modal from within a scope created by the SpecificController you can do so by using the $close() and $dismiss() method available on the scope.

Having said the above your example is a bit too abstract to provide exact guidance so if you could provide a representative use-case using http://plnkr.co/ you would get more detailed answer.
