[TYPO3-templavoila] how to use "One huge redundant DS - Many different TOs"?

[Joerg Wagner]

Hi Ron,
I use the method you described quite often (one DS, multiple HTML files 
& TOs). Sometimes I experience a nasty little problem with that 
constellation. Maybe you know a solution:
The DS elements that are not used together with a certain TO and HTML 
file must never get mapped. If I accidentally map one of these elements, 
or if I change an HTML+TO later to not include that element any more, 
there is no way to wipe the associated mapping. TV continues to show an 
error message for the defect mapping and - as I cannot remap it - there 
seems to be no way to get rid of that.
Any ideas?

Cheers,
Jörg.
