If you want to use templates in the contents of nodes (I didn't figure out that this is what you wanted but someone in the CB mentioned that and I think it fits), then those need to be done in a "push" model, not a pull model. That is, when you modify the source material, it would be pushed to all nodes that depend on it. It is unlikely to be implemented as pulling in material from somewhere else whenever a node is displayed.

This is more efficient because nodes get displayed over and over but the "to be included" content is going to change extremely rarely. It also means that you can implement this yourself when you have spare time. :)
