How to specify layout in res.render function?

I need to have different layouts when render a view (Expressjs 2.x). How to change them ?
For example:

res.render('follow_page', {layout:'layout_2'}, {name:'test'})

res.render('user_page', {layout:'layout_1'}, {user:'test1'})

node.js
express
jade

For Express 2.x and earlier, you'll want to merge the 2 objects, giving it a locals property:

res.render('follow_page', { layout: 'layout_2', locals: { name: 'test' } });
res.render('user_page', { layout: 'layout_1', locals: { name: 'test1' } });
