magento 通过layout文件 实现 block之间通信

可以参考 搜索模块 

<catalogsearch_result_index translate="label">
        <label>Quick Search Form</label>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-left.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="catalog.topnav2" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="<span style="color:#ff0000;">catalogsearch/result</span>" name="search.result" template="catalogsearch/result.phtml">
                <block type="<span style="color:#ff0000;">catalog/product_list</span>" name="search_result_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
                    <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
                        <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
                    </block>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>one_column</layout><count>5</count></action>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_left</layout><count>4</count></action>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_right</layout><count>4</count></action>
                    <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>three_columns</layout><count>3</count></action>
                    <action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
					<action method="setColumnCount"><columns>3</columns></action>
                </block>
                <action method="setListOrders"/>
                <action method="setListModes"/>
                <action method="setListCollection"/>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_result_index>

通过此配置 可以实现 Result Block 调用Product list Block 方法
