If you want something to be displayed on all of your pages why not
adding it to the master template that you extend later on with
specific templates.
You could also use the {% include %} tag to include the template in
other template.
Remember that you always work with the context provided to the
template by the current view. So for example when you have two views
using different templates, and both include your extra template, you
will have to make sure that you provide all the data the extra
template needs to display properly to both views.
If you are using generic views you can use extra_content dictionary to
pass any extra data your template may need.
I hope I've managed to explain this...
