proposal for a simplistic view support

Is it possible to configure velocity/turbine so that it can lookup 
for templates in multiple directories/hierarchies ?

e.g. would it be possible to create a "copy" of the 
templates-directory which contains only a modified subset of 
the original templates, and then tell Scarab to first look up 
templates in the new-directory and only if it can not
find a template there, look it up in the WEB-INF/templates 
directory instead.

Could i make such a configuration dynamic in the sense 
that Scarab only looks up in the copied directories 
on demand, e.g. by adding a parameter to the URL
like this:

    localhost/scarab/issues/id/124/view/myview

Geting this url, Scarab would first lookup files in
WEB-INF/templates/view/myview/...
and only if it does not find a file here, it will try it with the
default at WEB-INF/templates/...

if in contrary Scarab would get this URL:

    localhost/scarab/issues/id/124

it would immediately lookup in the default-place at WEB-INF/templates/...
(as at the moment it allways does)

Is there a better way to go in order to get views easily ?
I know i could place control statements directly into the velocity
templates,
but that would lead to many changes in the templates if i wanted to
implement such a view system...
