This is really key. Even extremely common patterns that will be present in virtually every web app have no examples that I can find anywhere on the web. A great example is simple nested resources, where the URL is something like `/tv_shows/555/seasons/3/episodes/2`. Obviously, this is the page that displays info about episode 2 of season 3 of the TV show with id 555. So how do I reference the tv_show model (which I will almost certainly need to do) from the `EpisodesIndexController` or the `episodes/index` template? Do I really have to specify `needs` [0] on every controller nested under `TvShowsController`, and perhaps add a `setupController` hook to make the property easily accessible like in this tutorial [1]?
Granted, I'm pretty new to this, so maybe I'm just missing the obvious way to do this sort of thing clearly.
