Hi Sky,
You can still create one screen template only for each screen and just do
nothing in your layout. This way you get the effect that you want. I would
suggest that you take this route, because you might want to use the
layout/navigation modules at some stage. Besides, all modules are cached
and only one instance gets created for each module - so the overhead will be
negligible.
If you're still worried about the extra overhead (which is going to be
_very_ little indeed) you can take a look at how modules are implemented and
create your own Screen module, which isn't tied to a Layout. This requires
you to do some work but it can be done.
If you're still not satisfied you can take a look at the AssemblerBroker
service and create your own home-grown set of Assemblers that does exactly
what you want them to. The extra work probably does not justify the
returns.
