Main Controller and then 1 controller for subsequent pages.

In addition to Randy's suggestions, one other option is to extend the default controller. Then all following controllers inherit this extension. The extended main controlller can be used to do exactly this. By Default, I automatically extend this controller in any new app I set up just for sake of knowing if something has a 'need-all' function or data, it will be their.
