Just %including the contact_snippet won't work where that view doesn't
have a "form" variable in the context. From the code you've included,
it seems only the contact view contains that 'form' variable. That's
why only that view works and others don't.
You could add a 'contact_form' variable to the context using a custom
context processor. Then, every template will be able to
see it.
