The declaration is local to a template, meaning that you cannot use the 
same declaration twice on the same template. BUT Jahia does have accessors 
for container lists that are on other pages. These are called Absolute 
Adressed Container List (aka AbsoluteContainerLists).

Basically you can retrieve a container list from another page through :

jData.containers().getAbsoluteContainerList(containerListName, pageID);

Another equivalent way is to do :

currentSite.getPage(pageID).containerLists[containerListName] in an 
expression.

I hope this helps you understand. But you are starting with one of the most 
complicated templates that we EVER did in Jahia, so I'm not sure how good a 
starting point that is.
