This type of code can be used directly in template, not need to create a layout file or add a child node inside already existing layout file. You can use this to echo a different type of block inside already loading block and template.

1 // Directly in the PHTML where you want to show the block
2 <?php
3 echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("module/block")->setTemplate("module/page.phtml")->toHtml();
4 ?>

What we have actually done is just load the layout and create an instance of a block class defined inside its paramerter, then assigned a template to the block and finally echoed as html. Simple! The code above will be equivalent to what we do as following in layout and in template file.

1 // In layout
2 <block type="module/block" name="module.name" template="module/page.html"/>
1 <?php
2 // In parent PHTML
3 $this->getChildHtml("module.name");
4 ?>

May be helpful!
