Here’s the scenario… there are a lot of models in use in this one  
controller, so I want to separate responsibility for remote calls into  
different controllers.

some\_controller has a view with a list of Foo objects.  
some\_controller has a form to create a new Foo object.  
some\_controller has an RJS template for the add\_foo action to update its  
view.

foo\_ajax\_controller has an add\_foo action.

Is there a way that some\_controller can invoke  
foo\_ajax\_controller#add\_foo, and have it render some\_controller’s  
‘add\_foo.rjs’?
