Passing data to a view within a view: Why doesn't this work?

[eluser]dallen33[/eluser]
Controller

Code:

$data['title']    = 'Home';
$data['footer'] = $this->load->view('footer', '', TRUE);
$data['data']    = $data;
$this->load->view('home', $data);

View

Code:

<?php echo $this->load->view('header', $data); ?>

This works!

<?php echo $footer; ?>

This works, but seems clumsy.
