View data being carried through to the next view?

I would try this:

Code:

$data['heading'] = 'Pages » New';
$data['class'] = "first";
$this->load->view("core/panel_top.php", $data);
$this->load->view("core/panel_bottom.php");

$data = array('heading'=>'', 'class'='');
$this->load->view("core/panel_top.php", $data);
$this->load->view("core/panel_bottom.php");
