I do not recommend using views for content that is only 
used inside a template. Because "context/@@viewname"
is also traversable as a real view and will probably show
up in google.

btw, I dislike everything like ++items++foobar which makes
something in general traversable. This was the reason for me to
implement contentprovider, z3c.pagelet, z3c.template, z3c.macro
etc. This packages offer you real good patterns and allows you 
to develop with much control as possible. There is no need
for making everything accessible as classic views anymore.
