the module, which you would like to add, is not simple to implement
and implemention must be some kind of compromise solution

Agreed. Simplify BE is important - but as important is not to allow
normal user to touch templates.

Because Typo3 is for creating *custom* templates, which are different 
for every customers, setting up templates should be let for developers 
of templates.

For normal user should left just possibilities to select templates 
and/or change the layout sheme of them.
Template and CSS selectors can easily give for avarage users.

I have now tried get working a new system of Berhard Kraft.
I have now tried to combine tm_contentaccess + kb_nescefe - failed.
It seems that Bernhard Kraft don't have time or he doesn't like to
help me solving existings problems.
see topic 'Re: [TYPO3] Nested Content Elements - help needed' in the 
English mailing list (starts from '[TYPO3] Nested Content Elements').

Using that model in most cases users select nested template just 
selecting instead normal content element content are template
(content container is a nested content area template).
