[stringtemplate-interest] Including templates from other directories

[jingzhao.ou]

Hi, Terence,

The problem is that the group is not under the sub-directories. :-) We
have a common groups which are to be shared by a number of projects.

Not sure whether $../../a/body()$ works or not. I would appreciate a
more portable solution. That is, the group directory is dynamically
passed in while I simply keep $body()$ in my template file.

Thanks a lot!
