I'm very new to cake and just read the documentation on layouts. My
particular app has two main content areas... one for the views on the
right and another for section navigation on the left. After reading
the documentation it sounds like I only have access to one content
area within the layout,
If I understand what you're saying... the only built-in content
variable is $content_for_layout which comes from the output from the
currently-executing view.
However, layouts have access to the variables that you set in your
controller with $this-set() -- so you may be able to achieve the

I agree, I've found elements to be an excellent way to reproduce content
on multiple pages. In the series of applications we're working on now,
the default layout displays an element that produces navigation based on
data obtained from the controller (tabs across the top).

AFAIK, you could insert elements in your layout via
echo $this-element ('elementName');
so, you could have your containers in the layout,
If the left handed content is static, you can add the content in the
layout through ? echo $this-renderElement('the-element'), ?. This
element must be in app/views/elements/the-element.thtml as a simple
html.
If the left handed content is dinamically generated, you need to
insert it through ?
