I'm starting to use dynamic layout paths and have been trying to do
the same for views/layouts. The only way I had success adding a
different path for a layout was to add it directly in the layout:

<body>
<?php
$this->addTemplatePath($this->layout_path);
include $this->template('layout.php');
?>
</body>

I would prefer to manipulate the template path outside of the layout,
of course. But I'm very confused about how to do this. :-|
