Top-posting, as I'm just seeing the thread now (I was travelling last week and into Monday).
I actually call this out as a huge feature of ZF2. In ZF1, it was difficult to do patterns like this cleanly. I would see hacks using the Registry, but they always required weird setup and hard-to-trace initializations that made it far easier to simply use forward() and the ActionStack. With ZF2, because the view helpers are managed by a plugin manager, we can do injections like you illustrate -- which make doing widgets and blocks and whatnot trivial, and which make it quite easy to keep the logic cleanly separated (why use a controller when you simply need the model and view to communicate?). So, yes, do this. Do it a lot! And _do_ allow your view helpers to communicate with the layout by way of placeholders -- this is a great way to include widget-specific CSS and/or JS, which likely is module-specific.
