Do not call 3 views in one controller function because they will limit you. instead call only one view which calls 3 other view.
this is your plan:
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view($view,$data);
$this->load->view('footer',$data);
the problem is that your header view will open some HTML tags which will be closed in footer view, such as div#container . That will make your code illegible.
My suggestion is:
$main_data['a']=...
$main_data['b']=...
$main_data['c']=...
$this->general_view('myview',$main_data);
protected function general_view($main_view,$main_data)
{
$data['main_data']=$main_data;
$data['main_view']=$main_view;
$this->load->view('general_view',$data);
}
inside general view:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
....
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?$this->load->view('header');?>
<div id="container">
<?$this->load->view($main_view,$main_data);?>
</div>
<?$this->load->view('footer',$data);?>
</BODY>
<HTML>

Yes you can, just add a file inside views named masterpage.php, then use the following code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class='menu'>My Menu here</div>
<div class='content'>
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
then your views shoud be like
<?php
ob_start();
?>
content
<?php
$content= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
include("application/views/masterpage.php");
?>
I hope it helps.

You can extend a abstractClass to get an hierarchy index:
AbstractClass:
class AbstractController extends CI_Controller
{
var $_template;
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view($this->_template);
$this->load->view('footer',$data);
}
}
Home Controller:
class Home extends AbstractController
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->_template = "home/home_view";
}
}
When you access site.com/home you gonna override $this->_template and with path for home view, and call index() from abstract controller
