One way would be to utilize the EventContext and call upon the
displayView method (see:
http://www.mach-ii.com/cfcdocs/1-6-0/MachII.framework/MachII.framework.EventContext.html#displayView).
Unfortunately the EventContext is only accessible through plugins and
filters (as far as I can remember off the top of my head). So what
you may want to do is perform a filter event like this:
<cffunction name="filterEvent" returntype="boolean" access="public"
output="false">
<cfargument name="event" type="MachII.framework.Event"
required="true" />
<cfargument name="eventContext" type="MachII.framework.EventContext"
required="true" />
<!--- assuming your event scope contains a comma-separated list of
views called 'views' --->
<cfset var views = arguments.event.getArg('views') />
<cfset var iter = '' />
<!--- loop through the list and append the values to an argument
called 'viewCollection' --->
<cfloop list="#views#" index="iter">
<!--- invoke the eventContext's displayView method --->
<cfset arguments.eventContext.displayView(event = arguments.event,
viewName = iter, contentArg = 'viewCollection', append = true) />
</cfloop>
<!--- now you should have your views appended within the contentArg
of 'viewCollection' --->
<cfreturn true />
</cffunction>
So within the XML you could have something like this:
<event-handler event="viewLoader" access="public">
<event-arg name="views" value="A,B,C" /><!-- or some listener method
or anything else that will set a 'views' variable within the event-
scope -->
<filter name="viewFilter" /><!-- assuming this is what you named
your filter -->
<view-page name="viewLoader" /><!-- this would essentially output
what is stored within your 'viewCollection' -->
</event-handler>
It kinda breaks the Mach-II methodology, but it's one way to shoehorn
it to your liking.
