I have found that when building web apps with Cake that use (and more importantly make good use of) AJAX that I end up building specific views and controller actions for the job. I have found that in the projects that I have built that there is little benefit from having an AJAX and non-AJAX interface to the same function. You can certainly do it, but personally I have found that the AJAX functionality ends up too limited, or the plain HTML version is too complex. As a result I often prototype in regular HTML to get a feeling for the job at hand, then revise the functionality with AJAX. This has the added advantage for me that I get two cuts at building the functionality, so the finished result is usually better thought out.
