[TYPO3-mvc] using views from a controller in another controller - possible or not?

[Dustin Kinney]

  hi dennis

thanks for the promising input. interesting approach. hope i can solve 
my problem with the help of your code-snippets. only problem is that the 
extension i want to use isnt coded yet ^^ (team development)
will need to wait a bit or set up a quick test extension. however thanks 
a ton!

cheers
