In the beginning taken in by easiest problem, in my view (2,1,3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

as i see it

'in my view' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in the beginning taken in by easiest problem' is the wordplay.
'the beginning' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'the beginning of' mean this).
'taken in by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'in' is 'i'.
'easiest' with letters rearranged gives 'asiseet'.
'i' put within 'asiseet' is 'AS I SEE IT'.

(Other definitions for as i see it that I've seen before include "IMO" , "in my view" , "In my judgement" , "In my opinion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
