hey Jared,

You're pretty much limited to <%...@import> statements when separating
out the JSP into fragments/files...as for templates, have you used
sitemesh before?  That's what I use to do all of my theming...if
you're using Spring or other frameworks, they sometimes have themes
built into them too

Mike!
