You have the relationship between views and templates wrong. A template
is simply what a view calls to render the data that it extracts from a
model. When you access a URL, your web server calls a view to determine
how to respond, and the view returns an HttpResponse of some kind.
HttpResponses cannot be embedded within web pages, so it doesn't make
sense to have a different view for different parts of the page.
A template cannot call views in any way. What you are looking for is
called a template tag in django terminology. Se the documentation here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/
