PoCo Generic packages question

If I'm wrapping a long running module with poco generic(see below), how do I
access the "packages" methods?

$heap->{$alias} = POE::Component::Generic->spawn(
                    package => 'LongRunning::Test',
                    alias   => $alias,
                    object_options => [ 'long_running_options' => 1 ],
                    methods   => [ qw( create_message send)],
                    packages => {
                        'Other::Module' => {
                            # only these methods are exposed
                            methods => [ qw( other_method ) ],
                        },
                    },
);

Example based on the code above:
1)I wrap LongRunning::Test which has methods (create_message send_message)
inside of $heap->{$alias} and then call create message.

$heap->{$alias}->create_message( {event=>'send_message',alias => $alias},
'param', 'param2', { id => 1 } );

2)After create message returns I jump to send_message,
I call $heap->{$alias}->send( {event=> 'next_step', alias => $alias}
);.........now I return from send message to the registered event next_step

3)Inside of next_step Is there any way to call a method
Other::Package->other_method with $heap->{$alias}->other_method

*I guess I'm confused on what packages are........underneath the main
wrapped package.....and how I access the methods of those wrapped packages.



(From the docs does Other::Package mean a sub package of Net::Telnet or does
it mean I'm just wrapping two different long running packages)

packages => {
            'Net::Telnet' => {
                # Methods that require coderefs, and keep them after they
                # return.

                # The first arg is converted to a coderef

                postbacks => { option_callback=>0 }
            },
            'Other::Package' => {
                # only these methods are exposed
                methods => [ qw( one two ) ],

                # Methods that require coderefs, but don't keep them
                # after they return
                callbacks => [ qw( two ) ]
            }
        }
