Is it really so hard to understand?

There are 3 rules

1. You can create as many +ext templates on as many pages as you like.
2. Only the first +ext template of a page will be used by default on 
that page
3. If you want to use the other +ext templates on the same page as well, 
you have to include them via "include base template" within the first 
+ext template of that page

This way you can use as many +ext templates as you like on the same page.
You can even include as many +ext templates as you like from other pages 
as well.
Still all these templates included in the first +ext template of that 
page will only be active for this particular page.

got it?
