thank you!

first question how call controller, , second how output ? 

use requestaction() request data view or better, set based on page you're on in appcontroller::beforeffilter() method.

in layout use an element $this->element('menu'); , use set data in or, if go requestaction() call inside element, can cache element.

read links cakephp book in text, book contains example code well.
