Well, that probably is good advice, but doesn't really relate to the matter at hand if I understand you correctly. As you may notice, the code is a modified version of the embedded code, but it's completely independent from it (it doesn't override anything). It could have been code that had been written completely by me.
And anyways, my goal is to make a snippet out of the edit form, and not to just be able to load a template from a file (I need to put the whole edit form in multiple, obscure places) so your solution, I must say, isn't any help to me. Maybe my original message title was misleading. The issue is that the theUser object isn't preserved between requests. Apart from that, the snippet could've been any other snippet (because it's just being used as a generic mapper; I could've created this form for any structure). Thank you for your effort, anyhow!
