I suspects there are some misunderstanding regarding how directives
supposed to work. Why @test is closed with @repeat? Why would y be
visible for the #include when it was just a parameter to @test?
Anyway, if you just wanted something like #include but with a somewhat
different behavior, certainly you should just implement a directive
that does that directly. Something like:

  <@myFramework.include "test2.ftl" />

and then in the implementation of "include" you can use the
Environment API to try to include templates, etc.

Or, as Attila said, maybe a MultiTemplateLoader is the good solution.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
