i am currently working with the them plugin, and am having some problems  
getting multiple layouts to work correctly…

i have two different layouts in the theme/layout directory, but only one  
of them seems to be working…

the first one renders just fine, but the second one renders only the  
views, without the layout.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
