The thing is elements are all stored together in views/elements. If i want to have elements that are used only inside some controller's views i'll have to mix them with "global" elements. > or > include $this->element(... Humm. Don't know this one. Can you elaborate? Some examples? > in the view, or > $this->render(... > in the controller. The reason i don't use requestAction() is because the action that renders the sub-view renders it using ajax layout. The action where i want it to be included renders it using default (or whatever) layout, so that doesn't work. Also, the action that renders the sub-view also does some other stuff and i just want the piece of HTML to be inserted in the view. Even if the action didn't produce side-effects, i wouldn't want to repeat unnecessary code (like getting the list of items to be displayed, which is already done in the index action and would be repeated in the sub-view action). Don't get me wrong but why so reluctant in implementing the feature? It would be a simple change in renderElement(), backward-compatible and useful feature.
