My memory is a little rusty as I haven't touched quickbook for a
while, but I think that you'll be able to do the import and id in
quickbook 1.7 (which I'm going to try to finalize for this release,
you can use it now, but it might change a little). You won't be able
to call the imported code snippets as you do, but IIRC the imported
template names will be scoped by the template body, so you might be
able to just use the same names in all examples. I'll have look later.
