Hi Buddy,
Why don't you just use: [% PROCESS my_template.tt2 %] to include your blocks into your pages? Then just process them as normal like:
[% PROCESS bar %]. If you put only blocks in my_template.tt2 there should be no problem.

Guys,
Okay, I'm sure someone must have solved this before ...
I'm using several BLOCKs inside my various templates, and occasionally I need to get the output of just a BLOCK (as opposed to the whole template). Naturally, my solution was to expose the blocks via the EXPOSE_BLOCKS config option (which, BTW, doesn't appear to be in the online doco; I found it while perusing the badger book).
So this works well for most of my problems, but the problem arises when I have something like:
[%# my_template.tt2 %]
[% BLOCK foo %] some stuff [% END %]
[% BLOCK bar %] [% PROCESS foo %] other stuff [% END %]
and then I try to process my_template.tt2/bar. Now, obviously I can see _why_ it doesn't work; makes perfect sense in fact. What I want to know is is there any way around it? I looked briefly at the AUTO_RESET config option, but it sorta frightened me: I got the feeling that was one of those things you don't mess with unless you really know what you're doing.
So does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not particularly tied to EXPOSE_BLOCKS, but I really want to avoid making each separate block its own separate template; that would get messy, and it would confuse the hell out of my HTML person (who is more of a layout designer than a programmer).
TIA.
