Rails - Feb 2006 - Multiple questions

I have a heard time finding good searchable documentation about ruby. So
ill ask some stuff here.

1. Can i use multiple layouts in the same controller, and somehow switch
between them? If so how?
2. Can i import a view into another view? If so how?
3. Can i check if a value is in a field using an if-statement, for
instance checking if there is a ''1'' in a field containing
''12345''?

thx a bunch

Yes. You can specify which layout to use. Also if there is a default 
layout being used in your controller you can control if you want to use 
it or not when a certain action is invoked within that controller.

For example you can do:
render :action => "clap_yourhands", :layout =>
"circles_and_triangles"

Yes. Look at render :partial and / or render :component
