As you know you should not call an action from the view layer. Actions are used to process form data and fetch page data, there should only be one action process per page imho. Perhaps a helper function or using a partial or component would be better for your needs.

Helper functions may be called at anytime and can most likely do what your second action needs to do. Short of forwarding or page routing, I believe a helper function can do anything an action function can. You need to use the Symfony getContext singleton for access to variables that are standardly loaded in an action.

Partials and components let you break up the view layer into separate chunks. Components actually get their own action code, but I wouldn't go crazy hitting the database or anything in a component, keep it simple. Partials pretty much let you call another template file from within a template.
