There are two types of frameworks. push and pull. In the pull
frameworks, the url maps into a view and the view calls multiple
controller actions. In the push, the url maps into one controller
action which renders one ore more views. web2py (as well as Django,
Pylons, and Rails) are push.
The only way one subset of the page can call a different controller is
if they ask the client to do it via AJAX.
<div class="unit">
<div class="container">
{{=LOAD('default','sidebar',ajax=True)}} # calls
sidebar() is default.py
</div>
</div>
