Re: Access Classes In Layout Help??

Ok so I actually didn't create a layout for each view from my controllers.
Instead, all the views use the same layout, which is the default.ctp. Is
that incorrect? From my understanding, the default layout is loaded by every
view and that's why I have my navigation bar in it. It seems that I can
only access those "set" variables from something like
views/layouts/cars/index.ctp but not views/layouts/default.ctp. Is there a
difference between the model layouts and the default layout?
