I am unsure of what you're looking to do, but I hope the following helps.
I have customised the currency theme and moved towards having a bunch of
includes. I usually put the file in to the templates directory and use
the preceding underbar convention e.g. _banner
The following code then includes it into the weblog file
#includeTemplate($model.weblog "_banner")
In my case _banner contains html code and is an ascii file (I think)
For this to work on each article, my theme came with an _day file within
which is a loop
#foreach( $entry in $entries )
the enclosed code is executed for each article
I place the code to display the affinity/posting buttons after each
article in this loop. See http://blogs.sun.com/DaveLevy
http://blogs.sun.com/DaveLevy/entry/voting_in_the_blogosphere shows
example code for this usage.
You can include your text file within this loop.
http://blogs.sun.com/DaveLevy/tags/roller may also have some hints.

Hi,
Using Roller V4
I am looking for a way to include a page within all my weblogs where the
body text contents can change for each blog but the holding page is the
same, much like an About this blog page.
So far I have created a new Roller template called about and within the
about template I would like to include the contents of a .txt file that
currently resides in the file uploads (if anybody else knows of a better
method for my requirement then please let me know).
From looking at this forum and reading the Roller manual and velocity user
guide, it does look like this is not default Roller functionality. However,
I wanted to ask in case I have missed a simple solution.
I tried using the #include method found in the velocity user guide:
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.5/user-guide.html
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.5/user-guide.html
but this causes my page to break, I noticed in the user guide it mentions
TEMPLATE_ROOT, could somebody please explain this?
