I have created new reference "new reference" in page.xml using this link http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/custom-reference-structural-block/. When i call that reference using

$this->getChildHtml('newrefernce') in theme pages its working.

When i call this in my own custom module (ie)in Local folder its not rendering that page.

Page.xml

> <default translate="label" module="page">
> 
>  <block type="core/text_list" name="newrefernce" as="newrefernce"
> translate="label"></block>
> 
> </default>

Need Help. Thanks

Reset to default

Try this.

<layout>
    <default translate="label" module="page">
        <reference name="root">
            <block type="core/text_list" name="newrefernce" as="newrefernce" translate="label">
                <label>New Reference</label>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

Note: In your case, reference node with name root is missing.

Also you need to add this 

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('newrefernce')  ?>

to each layout template file such as 1column.phtml, 2columns-right.phtml, 2columns-left.phtml and 3-2columns.phtml and so on.
