Why can't the included template know how to fill in the values?  It kind of

defeats the purpose of having included templates.  In that case you may as
well
just have 1 template that draws everything, since it has to know all of the
lower
level variables anyways.
  What I want to be able to do, is have the 2nd and 3rd level templates
describe how
to fill in their respective template variables.  That way, if you change
the 2nd and 3rd
level templates, the master doesn't have to know anything about it.   Hence
the ability
of 1 php script that can handle a large group of pages, instead of only 1
type of page.
