Re: merge 2 views?

The one downside to this solution is that these variables will fetched
for every request, even if navigation.html was not included in the
output template.

An alternative solution would be to create a template tag that fetches
these variables, and only load and use this template tag in
navigation.html. That way those variables are only fetched if
navigation.html is included.

It's a little bit more complicated in code though (made a lot easier
in Django 1.3 with simple_tag), and might not be worthwhile if you
aren't doing complicated computations.
