[Catalyst] Building complex layouts

[Jay Kuri]

We created Subinclude for exactly this purpose:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-View-Component-SubInclude/lib/Catalyst/View/Component/SubInclude.pm

Include another bit of output from a Catalyst app via a number of methods, including ESI and SubRequests. 

Makes including those pieces particularly easy too, as it doesn't require you to know in your action what you'll need in your view.
