OMG, Chipmunk, ovid, eg, you're all right... :~(
I can't believe I was sitting on that silly thing for 4 hours without noticing. However, chipmunk, can you explain your solution? I see how you integrated my code better inside itself so it won't run over the same thing twice - but what you did is:
Print template up until <!-- MAIN -->
Print template from <!-- ENDMAIN --> to end.
Print the contents of form.txt
then print template again?

and it will appear in that order? Am I missing something, or did you just misunderstand my initial intention of placing one within the other?

    I think the second step is the one that's not clear. Here's how my solution works: 
    Read and print from TEMPLATE until <!-- MAIN -->.
Read but don't print from TEMPLATE until <!-- ENDMAIN -->.
Read and print everything from FORMTEMPLATE.
Read and print everything that's left from TEMPLATE.

    I figured that <!-- MAIN --> and <!-- ENDMAIN --> may contain some text that should be replaced by the form. The second loop just skips over all of that.
