Here's how I do this:
$view =& ClassRegistry::getObject('view');
$some_view_var = isset($view->viewVars['var']
['another_var']) ? $view->viewVars['var']['another_var'] : null;
I am aware that it is against CakePHP coding conventions to use the
tertiary conditional operator, but I don't care. :P
Cheers
