Re: Menus best practice

You can create an empty element in all the other apps and just include
the element in the layout.

You can also let the current app use another layout, one which
"inherits" the global layout. In this special layout you include the
menu element (somehow). I often work like this. With one base-layout
and a few special ones for different sections of an application.

At it's most simple such a special layout would inherit the base one
like this:
echo $this->renderLayout('<div id="container">'.$content_for_layout.'</
div>','base_layout');

As you can see this is a strictly hierarchal "russian doll" thing.
