Interesting. It has nothing to do with your getPostions() method. If
you're running the latest release, the error is in
View::_loadHelpers(). It seems that the 2nd param is a string rather
than an array. I know a Helper may have other helpers, and your syntax
there looks fine. Might be a bug.
Try editing View.php temporarily:
function &_loadHelpers(&$loaded, $helpers, $parent = null) {
debug($helpers);
