Understandable, and a standard problem.

I'm not sure whether I understand your demands correctly.

Would it fulfill your requirements doing it the other way round,
by calling your outside applications via

  include("/path/to/application.php");

from Midgard pages?  Midgard would build the layout and
navigation stuff from the style associated to the page you're
calling your application from.
