To give an example of majna's comment.
If you have your base layout called default and another one called
contained...
in contained.ctp:
echo $this->renderLayout('<div id="container">'.$content_for_layout.'</
div>','default');
This would probably be the smallest layout in history but I hope you
get the point. Usually I will pull all the html into a string and pass
that. Either using heredoc or just a really long "normal" string.
