     * Allows a component to "inherit" the template (.html and .wod files) from 
another component.

     * <ol>
     * <li>It can't he used to inherit the template of another component 
inheriting a template.</li>
     * <li>It can't handle having two components with the same name in 
different packages</li>
     * <li>It does not use WO template caching</li>
     * </ol>

inherited
     * @param frameworkName name of the framework the component is in, or null 
if in the application
     * @return the template form the indicated component
