You can have the templates for each phase of the wizard be separate files and use TemplateFinder.findAnyTemplate to load the template for the step of the wizard that you're on.

Maybe next week (this week is JVM summit). While I think this is Lift's future, having a simpler set of tools for people to use (like Naftoli's bind-o-matic thing) is great.
