Yup.. I've got logic in for that sort of thing now -- which works rather
well -- currently I use it mostly for which hyperlinks to display in the
top link-bar -- admin users get a different set than average-joe users do.

I think in my case, many of my views (for lack of a better term) are not
going to be very complex and will consist mostly of forms+validation and
writing to my Glorp tables. I was just trying to reduce the amount of
classes I've got if there wasn't a need to split out functionality. Thanks!
