Sure, but you could also cut out some of manual work loading views and choosing what view to show, specially when you have to load the same views in multiple controllers and/or methods.

Code:

$shopping_cart->draw('mini-cart');

just seems slightly more elegant than

Code:

if ($user->type === 'VIP')
   $view_file = 'shopping-cart/vip-mini-cart';
else
   $view_file = 'shopping-cart/mini-cart';
$this->load->view($view_file, array('shopping_cart' => $shopping_cart));
