PyroCMS: How to include one page inside another

I have a site with an "About us" page which is divided into multiple sections.

About Us
    +Overview
    +The Company
    +Our services
    +Future plans
    (etc)

I want to have a floated block on the right hand side of each of these pages which contains links to every other page.

Ideally, what I would like is to create a page titled AboutUsSidebar, and then be able to include this page in all of the about sections through some kind of tag, ie..

{include('Sidebar')}

Is there anything like this in PyroCMS? Or perhaps a better way to do it?

In the end what I was able to achieve the desired result by using a page type.

I have a page type called "About" which contains the sidebar html, then I use pages on top of that page type for each of the sections.

Worked very nicely.

You should use view partials.

Create your sidebar with it's HTML and save it into addons/shared_addons/themes/yourtheme/views/partials/sidebar.html and then you can include it in your layouts as so:

{{ theme:partial name="sidebar" }}

It looks like page types are the way to go, I didn't see the page types button at the top of the page before.
