Your query is quite open ended so I don't know how to answer it. 

What are you looking for help on? Are you trying to optimize? Are you trying to 
do includes in template?  Are you trying to do DB queries from template? 

If I have any comment on your email, it would be to not over-optimize with 
static pages before you know you need it. People often underestimate how far 
dynamic CGI will get you without any optimization.
