So, is it possible for the page to call it's own controller, an
inversion of the usual process, page gets called from
"SwitcherController", then the page does
<% pagecontroller %>
so that after the call
<%=@wow%> is defined??

You can definitely do that within a single controller.
class TestController < ApplicationController
def index
@foo = "bar"
switch if rand < 0.5
render_template "<%= @foo %>"
end
def switch
@foo = "not quite bar"
end
end
About 50% of the time another action will be called that alters the
variable that is rendered in the template.
