Well, if you're really trying to use an MVC design, the best thing to do would be to write a module that can calculate the data to be displayed for a box, call it from your handler, and then include a small template that displays that data in your main template. That avoids any sort of "callback" where more data is added after entering the view section. It also avoids the need for any subrequests. A cleanly written plugin is a perfectly good way to do it though if you find that model easier to work with. - Perrin
