If they extend a layout and therefore must be generated dynamically, they
cannot be served as static files. Static files have to be fixed documents
that can be served without running any app code. If you need to generate
the files dynamically based on web2py templates, treat them like any other
web2py page. You might create a single function, and serve the appropriate
content based on request.args(0) -- you could use that to set response.view
to point to the correct view file with the requested content.
