If I understand what you're saying... the only "built-in" content variable is $content_for_layout which comes from the output from the currently-executing view.
However, layouts have access to the variables that you set in your controller with $this->set() -- so you may be able to achieve the functionality you're looking for that way. Also, consider the after/before filters for defining additional separate-from-controller content to be included. I'm making stabs in the dark here -- does any of this help? mrtopher wrote: > I'm very new to cake and just read the documentation on layouts.
