title: Partials action inheretance rails
body: <p>I asked a question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28268659/controller-action-for-partials?noredirect=1#comment44895316_28268659">here</a> about creating an action for a partial.  It was suggested that I either include a partial in a view (what partials are for), or make it its own view (no longer a partial).  This has led me to ask a distinct question:</p>
  <p>Do partials inherit actions from the views in which they are displayed?</p>
  <p>Edit to answer first comment:</p>
  <p>What I mean is if I have an index action and index view, and I display a partial in that view, will the partial understand the variables I define for the index action?</p>
