Good point. I'm all for following best-practices. However, what if,
for examples sake, I didn't need to include the navigation in every
page? I would be wasting time querying/compiling a list of categories
that wouldn't be accessed in the view.
This is assuming that by writing code in AppController it would be
called for every page regardless of whether or not it's needed.
Thanks for your time/patience.
