Thank, that was what I was looking for. Especially #2.
I was thinking of structuring the template directories much like the
site relations. There will one or more templates ALL the sites
inherit, and then the sites will be grouped by 'family'. Each family
directory would have a family_base to inherit, then within the family
directory, site directories. Each template within the site directory
could always be prefaced by the site name (i.e. site1_view.mako,
site1_frontPage.mako, etc).
Something like:
|-templates
|- Master_base.mako
|- Family1
| |- Family1_base.mako
| |- Site1
| | |- Site1_view.mako
| | |- Site1_frontPage.mako
| |
| |- Site2
| |- and so on
| - Family2
|- Family2_base.mako
|- Site3
|- and so on
Thanks for you input.
