DotNetNuke Module Development

I wish someone could explain to me why the DotNetNuke module framework only allows ONE "View" control for each module.  I''m working on a module right now that needs 3 different view controls, but anytime I try to load one of the non-default (according to the module definition) view controls DNN forces the admin skin on it and I lose the other panes.  Why can''t I just load a specific view control for my module and have it keep the other panes!  aaahh!  The only solution I''ve found that other people have used is to implement a dynamic control injection scheme using the query string and a big switch statement inside their one default view control which dynamically loads other view controls as needed in-place.  Unfortunately, when you do that you lose a lot of features like module actions per view control and design time event assignments to your buttons, datagrids, etc. on each page.  Say it isn''t so!  Someone please tell me there''s a better way......
