How to pass a variable through a clip in Yii?

Question

Yii

Good afternoon, I muddied the following code in the actionIndex of the SiteController controller :

$this->beginClip('mainPageNews');
            echo '<ul>';
                foreach($news as $item){
                    echo '<li>';
                        echo  CHtml::link($item->NAME,array('news/item/code/'.$item->CODE));
                    echo '</li>';
                }
            echo '</ul>';
        $this->endClip();

Naturally, I take it out in the right place and it works.

<?php if(!empty($this->clips['mainPageContent'])) echo $this->clips['mainPageContent'];?>

I'm wondering if it's possible to pass to an external template, in this case I have column3.php, not the output, but the variable itself, in order to print it already in the view?
