I would declare an array that would hold the variables I want to display on the page.

So your code would look something like 

$data['page_title'] = 'Why so serious';
$data['page_to_load'] = 'slideshow';
$this->load->view('Mainbar', $data);

Then in the Mainbar.php file you would load $page_to_load and the rest of that variables in your data array.

<?php $this->load->view($page_to_load); ?>

You can return view contents as data in the form of string.Using

$data= $this->load->view('slideshow', '', TRUE);

Then in another view just echo $data; will display view slideshow.

There is a third optional parameter lets you change the behavior of the method so that it returns data as a string rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you set the parameter to TRUE (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is false, which sends it to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:
