[Radiant] adding shards regions

[Jim Gay]

Sean,

I've got a question about this again.

I'm trying to add regions to my views, but I have a different file  
structure and I don't quite know how to get render_region to work with  
it.

For example, I have:
admin/help/index.html.haml (works fine)
admin/help/developing/index.html.haml (not sure how to get this to work)

I'm not quite sure how to get that working. Can this be done or does  
my structure need to be flattened?

Thanks

-Jim
