That's one of the strengths of the whole Model-View-Controller paradigm that Cake is built on. Cake makes it easy to use more than one model in a controller through the $uses variable that you may have noticed in some sample controller code. The point I'm making is that you don't have to stick with the one model, one controller, one view idea. You can have multiple models being used by one controller, and multiple views being used (Rails calls them partials, can't remember what they are called in Cake. Elements, I think?)
