In my form I also do the same thing to switch the open / closing with an if statement for the add or edit that's being called.

Generally, my add and edit templates just include the form.ctp element. In that I have a switch($this->params['action']) to decide how to open/close the form. But the point is to be able to render and return just the form portion of a view.
