Loading views within views

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can offer me a more elegant solution to the one I have.

I have a main template which is loaded, and within that template, I echo the contents, and sidebar. My controller code looks something like this:

Code:

$content_data['title'] = 'Recommended Resources';
$content_data['body_id'] = 'recommendedResources';
$content_data['resources'] = $this->my_model->getResources();
        
$sidebar_data['categories'] = $this->my_model->getCategories();
        
$data['content'] = $this->load->view('recommended_resources/index', $content_data, TRUE);
$data['sidebar'] = $this->load->view('recommended_resources/cats_right_nav', $sidebar_data, TRUE);

$this->load->view('main_template', $data);

That looks quite messy to me, and I will probably need to add more variables at some point also. Does that look right, or is it overkill?

Many thanks in advance.
