Simple said, because of the duplication of some parts of the code.
Let's have this example from my app for discussion:
Usecase 1: "Go to Home Page" -> issues 'controller: home/home' -> renders '
home.mako'
Usecase 2: "Send email to a friend, and show Home Page" -> issues
'controller: email/send', then redirects to 'controller: home/home' ->
renders 'home.mako'
Of course 'home' action of controller 'home' does some specific logic, like
showing current user's data from DB. That is a reason, I just can't show '
home.mako' in 'email/send' page after sending an email.
And it is really bad to implement that logic twice in different places..
Though I sometimes handle such situations by just _calling_ (not
redirecting) 2nd action from a controller, only when 2 actions used are in
the same controller.
Hmm...however when I think about that now, I think I could also not to
redirect, but could try to call 'home/home' action from another controller
('email') class/object.. could I? Can I access that object somehow?

ps. session is somehow too global for my needs. That's 'c' is the thing to
use I think
ps2. In Java/Struts I've used "forms" for storing that kind of data, that is
nor "sesion global", nor "http request specific".
