What I'm trying to get across is...
If you build a child theme and make a call with "template_directory"
from within your child theme, I would expect that it would search the
"child-theme" and if the file is not found there to then search in the
"master-theme" directory.
I might not even understand how child-themes really work. My assumption
is that if you have a "child-theme" it will look there for the file and
if it's not found to then look in the "master-theme" directory.
Are there documents that explain this in detail?

Using template_directory does not allow finding the file in the child theme

I assume this message ended up in the wrong list. :-) But, anyway...
As far as I understand: What makes a child theme a child theme is
that it declares (in style.css) a template directory different than
its own directory. And that’s what bloginfo('template_directory')
echoes:
The template directory declared by the active theme.
(When the active theme does not declare a template dir, as is the case
with themes that are not child themes, the template directory is
assumed to be the same as the stylesheet directory.)
This is all intentional. What is it that you are trying to do?
Cheers!
