Cristof's suggestion works as well, and will keep the code clean as
well.
As an alternative to your question, you can always cache queries in
your Categories model, so that the overhead in getting the categories
will be negligible.
function getCategories() {
$categories =
Cache::read('categories');
if (empty($categories))
{
$categories = $this->find('all');
Cache::write('categories', $categories, '1 hour');
}
return $categories;
}
