Thanks for all your suggestions everyone.
So if Cake doesn't have a cleaner way to do this, how would I make one
myself?
The ideal would be to mimic the way vars are passed into views from
controllers, i.e in the view, setForLayout('varName', $varValue), and
then $varName just appears in the layout.
If i had ot use a method in the layout, like $varName = fromView
('varName'), that wouldn't be too bad either.
But how/where would this best be done, without hacking the core?
