I did not read thru your insanely long message BUT here is what I would
suggest

1) Dreamweaver MX offers a good templating system with nesting, repeating
blocks and conditional blocks. 

2) With help of some prefilters these templates can be directly used by
SMARTY

Pros: Offers a 100% WYSIWYG environment for templates

Cons: If a parent template is changed then it automatically updates all
the child templates - Implying that for the change to be applicable you
have to upload the parent as well as children to your site.

If you find SMARTY to complex to use then you can use the class
phplib2smarty which is a drop-in replacement for phplib template class to
use smarty.

Also there is a downloadable PDF of Dreamweaver MX template chapter on one
of the book sites
