2 ways to do this.  You can "include" or "require" another view file  
using $this->template(), which will search the template path stack  
for you (including inherited templates).

     <?php include $this->template('login_box.php'); ?>

As an alternative, you can use a partial and echo its results.

     <?php echo $this->partial('login_box'); ?>

Be sure to read the docs on partials; they have some extra features  
that make them particularly useful in loops.
