Include a file external to Codeigniter

Question

I am trying to make an integration between a system developed in Codeigniter(CI) with Moodle and I need to include in the CI a file from the Moodle library, to recover some data.

However I am not able to do the inclusion of the arquvio in the IC, to work with it within the controllers. File inclusion works perfectly in CI index.php, but I can’t use its variables inside the controllers

Remembering that my IC is inside a folder of Moodle, ie it would be a module of this system.

Someone has the knowledge to achieve this integration?

The structure is like this: I want to include inside the CI the parameter.php file and use its variables in the controllers

File parameters.php

<?php   
    unset($CFG);
    global $CFG;
    $CFG = new stdClass();
    require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/lib/setup.php');

lib/setup.php can be viewed here:

You need to insert Moodle in the "application/third_party" folder, after that in the "Libraries" insert a file "Moddle.php"

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

require_once APPPATH.'/third_party/moodle/index.php';

class CIMoodle extends Moodle {
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    // Outros métodos aqui.
}

After that in the controller only use one

$this->load->library("cimoodle");
$todo = $this->cimoodle->algummetodo();
