ES, You really can't do that as you have described because each controller method represents a different http request and a brand new instance of the controller is created. So an array that is saved in a previous request won't be available in a subsequent request. To accomplish what you want will require persisting the information from previous pages. Some possible solutions...
1) Save the previous values in hidden form variables each step along the way. 2) Save the previous values in a session variable. 3) Save the previous values in flash and use the keep method to maintain them between requests. 4) Use some sort of cache like memcached. I hope this helps.
