triggering elements from controller, not view

hi,

usually you trigger elements like this and it works:

in views/elements you create a ctp file
---------------------------
echo $message
---------------------------

in your view, where you want to show the element

echo $this->element(
'too_many_attachments',
array(
'message' => 'Du kannst nur maximal 5 Dateien hochladen'
)
);

now i get this. but this element is shown everytime the site is
opened. but i want to be in control, when to show the element. i wanna
do this in my controller:
like:

if $count > 5
{
SHOW THE element
}

can u help me? thx :)
