+    +    &quot; archive=yes feeds=no&#93;&#93;
+
+The lines which feature creation_year(&lt;TMPL_VAR year&gt;) are most likely the culprits.  That would explain why the error was repeated twice, and would tally with the file in `templates/` being rendered, rather than the inclusionists.
+
+A workaround is to move the template outside of the srcdir into the external templates directory and include the file suffix when using it, e.g.
+
+    \&#91;&#91;!template id=all_entry.tmpl year=2010 current=true&#93;&#93;
+
+An alternative fix is to wrap the entire template inside a test to see whether the page is included or not. E.g.
+
+
+    \&#91;&#91;!if test=&quot;included()&quot; then=&quot;&quot;&quot;
+    ...template...
+    &quot;&quot;&quot; else=&quot;&quot;&quot;
+    Nothing to see here.
+    &quot;&quot;&quot;&#93;&#93;
+
+In fact, this is probably best practice for in-srcdir templates.  I&#39;d consider this done if the documentation for the directive suggested it. -- &#91;&#91;Jon&#93;&#93;
