If all you need is passing strings around (a sensible assumption for a
template engine), maybe all you need is Rings [1]. It allows you to
create "slave" states from you "master" state, and even pass data from
master to slave and back. It is used for example in WSAPI-Xavante to
isolate the code using WSAPI from the webserver itself.
