This one caused me more than a little headache,  turned out it was easily solvable.

renderElement() can be used in a helper function.

The following example worked nicely for me.

In this case I am calling and element "order_form.ctp"

$theView = ClassRegistry::getObject('view');

echo $this->output($theView->renderElement('order_form'));
