FWIW, the common way to add inheritance to your templates is to make
them separate files, not blocks, and vary the include path.  This allows
you to have a directory setup like this:

base/
base/style1/
base/style2/

Then set your include path to search depth-first from your selected
style directory so that a "PROCESS foo.tt" will look for foo.tt in
style2 and then in base if it doesn't find it in style2.
