how can refer that

please advice

You can use the render helper:

<?=$this->render('menu.phtml')?>

If you want to pass specific variables to the rendered script, use the partial helper:

<?=$this->partial('menu.phtml', array("varname" => "value"))?>

The menu.phtml file must be in the search path, which usually is the path to the current module's scripts directory ( view/scripts ). You can either place the menu.phtml file in this directory, or add a directory to the search path using the addScriptPath() method on the view object.

Try this

echo $this->partial('path/file.phtml', 'ModuleName')
