| My solution is probably a PITA, but you could include your templates
using a relative path from your template_dir
ie {include file="subdir/templateinsubdir.tpl"}
$smarty->display('subdir/templateinsubdir.tpl');

| Although unsupported, you can make the templates_dir an array of paths. It is searched in order. So put the common templates (eg: templates/shared) first in the array. Another idea: use a custom resource (eg: shared:foo/bar.tpl) -- it means you have to re
write your templates -- but only once. You can then simply modify your resource to retarget the template locations.
