"For The PHP Trolls" on the end sent me into a giggle fit.

Also more on-topic, noone said you can't have code outside a controller.
Instead of looking into Rails hackery, just abstract the navigation
logic into a separate component that only calls ActiveRecord classes for
the model, and renders a partial with them when called? You only really
need it to be a controller if it's doing... well... control flow.
