How to present actions from multiple modules on one page in ZF2?

I'm rewriting an app to ZF2 and I got stuck on problem of aggregating views from many modules on one page. What I want to achieve is to separate functionalities into modules, but still be able to display their views/actions (not sure how to name it) on one page. Let's say I'd layout a page with 4 containers and each of them would display some view from 4 different modules. Is it possible, if yes then how? Or maybe my though process is wrong here (I'm set on separating those functionalities though).

I've tried defining same or similar routes (eg. Module1: /boo/[:yah], Module2 /boo/[:whatever]). It didn't work because first module loaded was apparently served. And it looks like a mess too.

I've read a little about view helpers, but seemed to be aimed at a different purpose of providing common functionalities across many views. Whereas what I need if something like a layouting helper, view aggregation or something. I've worked with a home-made framework before that had this concept of site controllers, that would fire up different controllers actions. I can't find a way to emulate this in ZF2.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I've been applying forward plugin for this purpose as described in the blogpost suggested by Sam. It doesn't look elegant, but then I can't think of anything better myself.
