Re: How do I reference functions from another template?

Hey tavis and Tyler
If you really *must* avoid first compiling foo.tmpl, then for now the
#include would be what you'd want. See:

http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html/users_guide.html#SECTION000860000000000000000

*We cant compile templates in webpy and include is what we need*
*So please DONT PHASE OUT #includes*
*all our code base uses #include
*
