It's still not quite clear what you want to do. Variables defined in models will be available in all views, regardless of what the action returns. Variables defined in controllers outside of functions will not be available in any views (unless explicitly returned by a controller function). locals() will include any variables defined locally within a given controller function. Can you provide a more detailed example of what you are trying to achieve?
