$this->renderTemplate('demo.tpl.php');

// The client code would be something like...
$cntrlr =& new someController();
$cntrlr->serveModule('someView');
// ... and voila.
// I think this example illustrates how using templates (no matter how simple)
// really cleans up your code via encapsulation. Coupling this paradigm with
// the use of DAO's makes for very managable, portable, extendable PHP code.
