Keep in mind - when you are doing $this->set from an element: You aren't calling View::set - you are calling Element::set. Why would you expect that to behave as if it was an instance of the View class when it isn't? Also, the two pass rendering of CakePHP means that in order for what you propose to work you would need a 3rd pass through the stack of set variables and rendered elements before parsing the combined view output. This isn't how Cake works and struggling this much to force the framework to do something it isn't meant to is going to simply be a waste of your time, either now - getting it to work - or later when you have to support it.
