Call a .ctp file from a layout file with CakePHP

Is it possible to call a .ctp file from a layout which is also a .ctp file?

I have a default layout with the topbar, the footer and of course the variable $content_for_layout in the middle. I would like to dispatch the topbar and the footer into two others different .ctp files and I would like to call them from my layout.

You can use elements or, in CakePHP 2.1, you can check out blocks.

You can use elements.

<?php 
echo $this->element('topbar');
echo $content_for_layout;
echo $this->element('footer');
?>
