Of course cached views skip the controller - that's the whole purpose of 
caching your views.

The "normal" way to increment a counter would be to include the equivalent 
of :

    <img src="/articles/record_view/123">

In your view file - and have a controller action which increments the 
counter and responds with a valid image:

    function record_view($id) {
        $this->Article->updateAll(array('views' => 'views + 1'));
        $this->viewClass = 'Media';
        .... render a 1x1px image.
    }
