Preferred method for using pages within rendered views

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Right now, I'm building pages in django-page-cms, but there are a few that
need to be rendered through my custom view. My view looks something like:

def topics(request):
    current_page = Page.objects.get(id=3)
    return render_to_response('pages/topics.html', locals(),
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

However, if in the template I say:

{% if not pages %}
    {% load_pages %}
{% endif %}

It rewrites "current_page" to be None.

This becomes an issue when trying to pull the content for that particular
page like so:

{% placeholder top_summary with TinyMCE %}

What's the preferred method to accomplish this sort of merging?

Oki, I have made a modification so current_pages doesn't get to None.

Is that enough to resolve your problem?
