Re: How to combine two views

Your solution looks way to complicated. Try to do it using the
CakePHPs features.

Separate the parts from the two views, that you would like to be
presented together, and put them into elements.

Taking your example below, in the view, add the usage of the two
elements, thus presenting both in the same view.

How you are going to handle to paginations in the same view is a task
for you to handle :)

Thus you have no need to import the other controller, which in my
opinion is a non-CakePHP thing!

Enjoy,
John
