Don't call render() on the view object. Call render() on the controller
object ($this) or the viewRenderer (Zend_Controller_Action::render()
actually proxies to the viewRenderer, which in turn proxies to the view
object, after first doing some other work):
$this->render('login');
This will do several things for you:
* notice you don't need the file suffix
* look for the view script in the subdirectory named after the current
controller
* tell the view renderer not to render any other views
In other words, the above correction to your code will answer all of
your questions below.
Typically, the only interaction with the view object you need in your
controller is to set variables; otherwise, use the controller's
'render() convenience method, or go through the viewRenderer.
