Well, it would be nice if it worked like this. But all it does is literally
insert the contents of the file, WHEN GENERATING THE OUTPUT.

What you're looking for, is an include of a template in another template.
This would mean that KTS would have to insert the contents of the file
WHILE PARSING THE TEMPLATE. To be honest, I haven't thought of this situation
before. And I can see certain practical problems that would need solving.

I'll see if it can be implemented. From your example, I can see how useful
it really is.
