that's true. We'd need to refactor our approach for reloading templates so=
=20
that it can support multiple dependencies. Shouldn't be done before 2.0fina=
l,=20
I guess.

try broker.getProvider("template").flush() to clear the template cache.

the first, that is Templates are parsed and "compiled" into an internal=20
representation that can be evaluated pretty fast. This representation is=20
cached. If you want to cache the results of evaluating a Template with a=20
Context, you have to do this on your own.
