mvc all in one file

What I would do here is to place it all in the global controller:

libraries/MY_Controller.php:

Code:

class BaseController extends Controller {
    function BaseController()
    {
        parent::Controller();

        //load model, do operations, etc
        $data['bla'] = stuff;
        $this->load->view('header');
    }
}

Then you make all your Controllers extend BaseController instead of just Controller. And voila, that code get's called for all of them.

Also, as long as you only get data from the model in a view, it is perfectly acceptable MVC. The view just shouldn't write to the model.
