Calling methods in one actor through another actor. (not sub classes).

Hi, i have a method in a, lets say a class called "Block". In this class i have a method that i want to be able to use through another actor. So if i clicked on the Button class it would call the method in the Block class. How would you be able to do this if they are not subclasses of each other?

that tutorial allows you to save 1 variable in the world, so it will not work for me as i have multiple of the same objects, hence when it is created only the last one that is created will be accessed by my second class. I want to be able to access this code below which in my real scenario is in the class called 'Pins', through the class called 'Buttons'. This method will be called when the object of the Buttons class is clicked on. 
public void newRow()
    {
        if(!used) {
            used=true; getWorld().addObject(new Pins(PosNum, CurrentRow+1), getX(), getY()-35);
        }
    }
and all of the objects of the Pins class needs to do this method when the Buttons object is clicked on. The amount of Pins are unlimited.

In the Buttons class act method: 
if (Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this))
{
    for (Object obj : getWorld().getObjects(Pins.class))
    {
        Pins pins = (Pins) obj;
        pins.newRow();
    }
}
