Just guessing - your "preprocess" is not TT's preprocess, but some
other form of munging the template *before* TT gets its hands at it?
I recall that I've done something like that in the past, and without
any hacking^Wsubclassing of TT modules....
1) Slurp your file into a TT variable with
[% template_source = INSERT template.file.name %]
2) Do whatever you want to template_source. If your preprocessor is
Perl, feed the variable to a plugin or filter wrapper for your
preprocessor.
3) update using the eval filter:
[% template_source | eval %]
