Is it possible to call directly from a model method from another model of the same component?
Is there any default Joomla option to call in such a way.

According to the my knowledge NO. Otherwise it will break the MVC architecture.
What you can do is
- Replicate the function you want to use.
- Make the call from the controller to the both method.
My Advice is to you is even if you figure out a way to do it, Don't do it. It will mess up your whole architecture.
If you have any issues please ask.

according to my knowledge we never call a model inside a model. Instead controller handles all the calls. – Techie Nov 09 '12 at 15:55

I'm not quite sure about VM using it. I what told you is the standard. It's totally up to you whether to use it or not. – Techie Nov 10 '12 at 14:08

Yes You can
It will not break MVC architecture,
You can check like this
if(!class_exists('VirtueMartModelUser')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'models'.DS.'user.php');
$usermodel = VmModel::getModel('user');
$currentVMuser = $usermodel->getUser();
First you should include the model file in the required model then create the object. then call like above. This example is Virtue-mart using method
