Pages templates should render before their layouts

[jacquescrocker]

A common pattern in rails is to use a helper within a template to set an instance variable, that can then be used within the layout. However since the layout is running first.

Layout and template should also use the same "scope".

Here's the exact use case:

# in helpers.rb
module FrankHelpers
  def title(val = nil)
    @title = val if val
    @title || ""
  end
end

# in layouts/default.haml
!!! Strict
%html{html_attrs}
  %head
    %meta(http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8")
    %title= title
  %body
    = yield

# in dynamic/index.haml
- title "Home Page"
Content...
