I haven't used the diet templates but I have used views, the 
corresponding system, in Ruby on Rails quite a lot. There it's not 
required to pass in the variables to the view/template. But in my 
experience it's best to create an explicit object that will contain all 
the data you need from the view. This usually leads to better code than 
passing in a bunch of different modules, which you usually end up adding 
view specific methods to. Following this module you would only need to 
pass in one object/struct value.
