It would probably get overwritten if you put it in the params as
'name', but you could have passed it either
in the url
echo $this->requestAction ('/url/stuff/camefrom:'.$this->name.'.'.
$this->action..
or as a a differently named parameter.
echo $this->requestAction ('/url/stuff', array('camefrom'=>'.$this-
>name.'.'.$this->action..

Cool.

I wouldn't expect so, it's not really adding to cake but using it.
Also I don't know if it duplicates something that is planned or
already present. But who knows.
One thing that might be relevant and becomes interesting in 1.2 is the
ability to cache elements (which I alluded to covertly in my previous
message); so instead of putting effort into the component/controller
side of things, you /could/ put requestAction or other logic in your
element and cache the result.
it works like this echo $this->element('elementname',array('cache'=>'1
week',other=>sfuff,if=>necessary));
Anyway, glad you found a solution,
cheers,
