rendering views

Hi, I'm trying to explicity rendering at code level a view defined in my solution.

This is, suppose the name of the view is my_last_comments, and I'd like to show that view in a very specific place in my page template, say, so I'd like to get the view rendered in a preprocess variable such as:

function theme_preprocess( &$vars ) {
$vars['mylastcommentsview'] = view_render( 'my_last_comments' );
}

Got the idea?. I've looked for that in views module function but I couldn't find anything.

I'd appreciate some help in this.

Thanks
