Sometime Today, Thomas Wabner assembled some asciibets to say:

well, it can't be implemented because tmpl_include is processed much
before the variables are handled. basically, when the template is being
read, all tmpl_includes are read in and inserted at the relevant
positions. It's only after all this has happened that tmpl_vars are
processed.
furthermore, adding this feature will break compatibility with the
HTML::Template perl module.
It can be done with a Filter, when that's done. I'm still working on
it.

you can do this with the path and search_path_on_include parameters to
the constructor. Since this is done programmatically, you can have the
path read from a configuration file. This is the way I do it.
All include templates will be in a static location. Just include that
path in the path variable, and specify only the template filename in the
tmpl_include, and not the full path.
eg:
global_templates/
include_1.tmpl
include_2.tmpl
local_files/
main1.tmpl
main2.tmpl
main1.tmpl:
<tmpl_include file="include_1.tmpl">
main1.java:
set path to /path/to/local_files, /path/to/global_templates
set search_path_on_include to true
initialise template
