Question

I’ve this routes.

// index.html
<div ng-controller="mainCtrl">
    <a href='#/one'>One</a>
    <a href='#/two'>Two</a>
</div>​​​​​​​​​
<div ng-view></div>

And this is how I’m loading the partials into my ng-view.

// app.js
​var App = angular.module('app', []);​​​​​​​
App.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.when('/one', {template: 'partials/one.html', controller: App.oneCtrl});
    $routeProvider.when('/two', {template: 'partials/two.html', controller: App.twoCtrl});
  }]);

When I click the links, it shows me the appropriate markup inside the ng-view. But when I try to include partials/two.html inside partials/one.html using ng-include, it shows it properly but creates a different scope so I’m not able to interact with it.

// partials/two.html - markup
<div ng-controller="twoCtrl">I'm a heading of Two</div>

// partials/one.html - markup
<div ng-controller="oneCtrl">I'm a heading of One</div>
<div ng-include src="'partials/two.html'"></div>

​
How do I resolve this problem? Or Is there any other way to achieve the same result?

You can actually do this without using a shared service. $scope.$emit(…) can dispatch events to the $rootScope, which can listen for them and rebroadcast to the child scopes.
