If you're willing to look at alternate methods, I can tell you how we do that 
sort of thing here.  (Well, specifically we use OpenThought 
(http://www.openthought.net/), but the technique is general enough to work on 
its own too.)  I just make a page which has the common bits, and inside that, 
several different BLOCKs.  Each BLOCK represents a different tab.  Then I just 
put a small IF / ELSIF block at the bottom and PROCESS whichever BLOCK is 
appropriate, based on some template var (which I typically name "which"). 
Then all I need to do is grab the CGI param that tells me which tab we're on 
and set the template var (i.e. "which").  Voila.

HTH.
