I am just starting out with backbone and am trying to set up a view which has a question list. To the left of the list I have four filters, to filter the list by language, country, status, and study. The list and each of the filters are loaded into their own collections.

My idea was to make this one view with multiple collections, but I wonder if this is best practice in backbone since all the examples I have seen only have one collection per view.

Another idea was to break in into two views with one being responsible for the filters and then a child view being responsible only for the list of questions.

Or, is it more backbone style to drop all of the collections into a model and then pass that model to my view like it mentions here: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#FAQ-nested

Thanks for your ideas.
