Hi DJ, I'm not sure what you mean by "the substituting template". Actually, ARIA does almost nothing with substitution templates right now, just parses, validates, and stores the info. Indeed, if you refer to a node type there, it should be expected that the current template would need to know of that type, possibly by importing.
Could you provide a short example to clarify?
