On a tangent:
I suppose there must be a rule against truly recursive templates. Eg
template a includes template b includes template c includes template a --
forever. Although theoretically this could work with proper conditionals, I
don't think we wanna go there.
I think it should bail and spit out an error in case of recursion.
