I think there may have been some misunderstanding on where the values for the
variables are coming from.  When I was using variables in my example "initial
file" they would all be expanded by CodeMill and not passed through arguments.
There were also only four variables: YEAR, INCLUDES, FILE_BASE and START.  All of
these variables would be expanded through direct find/replace operation (it could
be done with ed).  I don't understand how that causes unique/different variables
in each "initial file" (you call it a template).
