Hi,
This is indeed confusing; in short words there are *two* stacks: one
for the layout and another for the view. To avoid confusion, I add the
/View directory to the *layout* path stack:

    protected function _setViewLayout($view)
    {
        // change the view object over to layouts.
        parent::_setViewLayout($view);

        // get the current class
        $class = get_class($this);

        // now add our own stuff
        $template = array();
        $template[] = str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, "{$class}_View");
        $view->addTemplatePath($template);
    }

Then you can include templates stored in /View in a layout or a view. :-)
Have fun.
