Hi,
It’s probably not a good idea. Note that you can define some methods in
our application.rb, since all controllers inherit from
ApplicationController, you will "share’ them amongst all controllers.

Well, in some cases you do want to have common views across controllers,
though the way of accessing view files is all the same:
render “controller\_name/view”
which corresponds to:
app/views/controller\_name/view.rhtml
