I was lazy (deep apologies!) and should have researched first. I have
solved it:
Router::connect('/controller/index/:parameter/*', array('controller'
=> 'controller', 'action' => 'index'), array('pass' => array
('parameter')));
...and then change my index function:
function index($parameter=null) {
..and then I can refer to $parameter
