Um... no. render() with a null first argument only renders the current
action as found in the request. There is no way currently to render
*all* actions at once.

When you call render() manually, it renders immediately... and then
tells the ViewRenderer not to do any auto rendering. This is to prevent
double-rendering. So, calling render() from init() is a bit self
defeating -- because then your normal view script won't render during
normal execution..
