What you're doing is fine. You can call cs_render multiple times, changing
the HDF dataset in-between. There are, however, some subtleties of
var/evar/lvar <http://www.clearsilver.net/docs/man_templates.hdf#var> you
should read up on. If you are putting clearsilver macros inside HDF, and
you want this to work, you'll probably need to stick to LVAR only.

I recommend making a standalone C-program with a small HDF and small
template to demonstrate the problem you are seeing. If that isn't enough to
help you figure out what's going wrong, you can post that mini program here
and we can explain how to fix it.
