Well, you need to go througFTB tutorial. It explains it all very well.
In short: forget about "page.everything", define menus and other objects
using "lib.something" and say to TV that you want "lib.whatever" to be
mapped to that particular DIV.

It is all in FTB. There is no reason to quote it here.
