If the service dependencies are totally different, why are you using a templated unit? Surely templated units have to have the same dependences. Basically in your unit, you are presumably using %i or %I in it in some capacity. What David suggested was using a /etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/config.conf dropin file to add a "Environment=MYVAR=newval" line and use $MYVAR in your unit rather than %i or %I. This is the same approach but you configure your unit appropriately rather than using instances. If you post your unit or provide more details of the kind of thing you are actually wanting to achieve (rather than the solution you want) then people may be able to offer other suggestions.
