I agree with this. Business logic is meant to be handled in the model 
(isn't it?) and view logic handled by the view. I would consider the 
inclusion/parsing of components at the display level the responsibility 
of the view, then it would seem that the actual parsing of the business 
logic would best be suited for a model type snippet.
