Hi Tom,
There is a way to instanciate a model wherever you need it, but you
should /never/ do that in a view/layout/element. My suggestion would
be to add var $uses = array('Bloc') to your app controller and put the
logic you want in the beforeRender method (but be aware that for a
cake error message an instance of the app controller is used and no
models are loaded). There are other ways, but explaining them might
encourage you to leave the model stuff in the element, which I don't
want to do :)
HTH,
