I have the same issue, anyone found a solution ?

Also I read about the @override command, but I can't really use it with @section('header', 'text') can I?

Try to use @append to close the section.

It doesn't work in my case because I have to use the syntax

@section('div-id', 'test_id')

The reason I have to use this syntax is because the other syntax adds white-spaces before and after the content, which causes issues with css and javascript.

I posted about it here: http://laravel.io/forum/10-20-2014-blade-problem-with-layouts

Maybe this can help you...

$view1 = View::make('popup1');
$kittySections = $view1->renderSections();//gets array of sections
$view2 = View::make('popup2');
$monkeySections = $view2->renderSections();//gets array of sections

$together = View::make('together')
->with('kittySections', $kittySections)//making $kittySections awailable in the view as $kittySections
->with('monkeySections', $monkeySections);

Iside the together.blade.php just echo the needed section where you want

<h1>Kitties</h1>
{{ $kittySections['section1'] }}
{{ $kittySections['section2'] }}

<h1>Monkeys</h1>
{{ $monkeySections['section1'] }}
{{ $monkeySections['section2'] }}
