Quite often I need to display data that's common to a lot of views - for example, when dealing with a user that's linked to an organisation, to display the organisation that the user belongs to on every page they see. It seems obtuse to have to call $this->User->Find... in every function in every controller. Outside Cake, I'd usually stick the organisation in the session to save lookups and provide easy access, but I've not found a way of accessing a session value from a view without having to call set() in every function, which is almost as bad. I suspect there is some simple 'Cakeish' way of sharing data between views, and across different controllers, but I've not found it as yet.
