Was the original question that you didn't want to start a DIV in one view and close it in another?
I'll use "header/start" and "footer/end" views, it might be a bit tricky to debug, but don't think it's necessarily too bad.
Your other option is to have views withing views:
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php $this->load->view('layout') ?>
</body>
</html>
Code:
<div>
<?php $this->load->view('another') ?>
</div>
<div>
</div>
And so forth.
