Quite simply, an action can interrogate where it was called from, what post/get data exists as well as what session data exists. All of this can be used to help determine what function an action should perform. Once you can determine inside an action what you need to do you can also load different templates based on what you need to return the user by using function such as setTemplate(), renderPartial(), redirect() and forward(). I use this a lot where I have one action that performs two functions, one to prepare the forms class to display to a user, followed by a form processor if the form was posted.
