Answer 1

You need CI_Controller

class Login extends CI_Controller {

Answer 2

In codeigniter ( I think version 2.x.x ) you should use the following instead:

class Login extends CI_Controller {

    function index()
    {
        $data['main_content'] = 'login_form';
        $this->load->view('includes/template', $data);      
    }
