Django Applications when we will still test the views?


1.    If you don't unit test your bits and pieces AND you call them in 
your views they might pass with wrong values. Subtle errors can creep in 
if your views are tested too coarsely.


2.    The more fine-grained the unit tests the easier it is to refactor 
your view code.


3.    Do you use Coverage? You will see all the Django code is tested. 
Only your own code to test


I do integration testing at a high level as well as down low. Really 
does wonders for refactoring confidence.


YMMV

Some code might help. It's not really clear to me what you are asking.

But at a guess, you can use the {% include … %} template function to  
extend templates.
