Thanks for this Uma, but I'm not sure it's the right way to achieve what 
I ultimately need.

Whilst I can get a list of organisations to display in my div via an 
Ajax request, so far I have been unable to get the related actions and 
filter menus to display. (Displayed in ListViewActions.tpl)

The way GeoTools works in 5.4.0 required the embedded list view to be 
"aware" of the results of the geolocation search but still be able to 
use your own listview filters as well.

So my requests will need to contain extra parameters to indicate the 
embedded module within the GoeTools module and determine the relevant 
result set based on various geo-parameters chosen by the user.

Unfortunately there is not much information on the way this new 
architecture actually works I am really wandering around in the dark 
trying to fathom out the flows through the system.

For example, what is the purpose of the preProcess, Process and 
postProcess functions in the view?

Should I write my own action to handle this embedded module display 
paradigm?

I'm sure once we start to understand this new architecture better the 
benefits of it will be clear; but it is going to be a steep learning 
curve I think ;-)

Cheers
