You can still use this concept, but you would need to use a hook. There 
is one that's called while compiling the TS (there are two actually, one 
at the beginning and one at the and). You would need to use that hook 
and add the needed TS file includes (just point to a folder having a 
setup.txt and/or a include_static.txt), snippets and constants there. 
For inspiration on how to use this hook just have a look at Rons 
"templavoila_framework" where he does the same but only for TV. It's 
really easy.

I do something quite similar using this hook. In my case I have 
multidomain setup where users additionally to the page layouts (1-3 
columns) can choose their overall theme. This is working just fine, but 
is still in development and needs to be improved.
