Stop. First, you need to refactor to use Zend_Layout; including a header
and footer in each page is a really, really bad idea for long term
maintainability. Additionally, The dojo() view helper is designed to
work *with* a layout strategy -- define your various modules, etc,
directly in your view scripts, and then simply echo the dojo() view
helper in your layout -- and all will just work.
Give Zend_Layout a try, and then let us know if you're still having
issues.
