I'm with grant - use one action with a differnt view as needed
function action1($layout = 'list'){
// set data and other stuff
switch ($layout){
case 'table':
$this->render('action1_table');
break;
default:
$this->render('action1_list');
break;

One of the primary parts of Cake is to keep your data separate from
your application interface (controllers), separate from your
presentation (views). Changing one of these elements should not
require modification to the others. You want the first two to remain
the same, you just want different
I think that would be overkill (and unnecessarily complex). Besides,
you'd need to setup a model to get to your views... I suggest sticking
with how Cake does things (which is pretty darn good).

multiple view files instead of combining several views in one thtml

http://www.some.com/controller/view/1
it will show say a list of links. In http://www.some.com/controller/view/2
it will show similar information from t
Couldn't you create an Element for the data?

Are you talking about several different "skins", but really the same
data and presentation? Or are you talking about some non-trivial data
calculation, then you want to show the result in several independent
areas of your site? I'm just not sure of the reason for the several
views on a single ac
