included template blocks are not being overrided by parent template.

[anonymous]

When including a template into a parent template, the child-template's blocks are not overridden by the parent.

For example:

base.html:

{% if is_satchmo %}
{% include "satchmo_base.html" %}
{% else %}
{% include "journal_base.html" %}
{% endif %}

journal_base.html contains the following block:

{% block content%}{% endblock %}

view_template.html extends base.html (with the context variable is_satchmo == False). view_template.html contains {% block content%}{% endblock %} which should filled with data from the view's context variable.

If I rename journal_base.html to base.html - everything works fine - but when I use the version of base.html that relies on the include tag, {% block content %} doesn't get overridden.

The documentation says that context vairables are available to included templates, so not being able to override blocks seems like a bug.

Context variables have nothing to do with blocks - as far as I'm aware this is just how the template system works - included templates cannot be extended.

Probably documentation needs to clarify this.
