You can have templates with template SubVIs. For that you put the template subVI on the diagram by using the File Dialog from the function palette. A blue T should appear in the icon. Now on loading the template main VI LabVIEW also instantiates the template subVIs. I used that technique a few times for communication with the template main VIs by making the template subVI an intelligent LV2 style global. The main VI just starts up as independant task and sits there and runs and I retrieve the refnum to the created LV2 style template subVI to send commands and receive data through it from other places. Another way of communicating would be queues but my LV2 style global approach had some nice advantages for the application in question.
