Matt,

The initial read of your message sounded to me like you're looking for an easy
way to keep "functional blocks" of your content encapsulated in JMO's while
using a table to format the placement of these "blocks" on the resulting page.
If this is the case, then you may accomplish this by the following:

1) set up template jmo's for each of your "functional blocks" which you want to
display on the page.
3) create HTML jmo's which contain html snippets of table tags based on how you
want the layout to look. For example, if you want the resulting content from the
templates to be displayed side by side, you could create 3 html jmo's containing
the following:
     1) <table><tr><td>
     2)</td><td>
     3)</td></tr></table>
2) create a page jmo which includes the templates and HTML jmo's, ordering the
sequence such that the templates are included in cells of the table.

In this way, your content is encapsulated in the template JMO's, and the
formatting layout is encapsulated in the page JMO. Both the templates and html
snippets are re-usable.

Yes.  The dyanmic include will run the included JSP with the same
request data so all the Japple "state" including the template will be
available.  However, no local variables from the calling JSP will be in
  scope.

Matt, have you seen the Dish List Tutorial?  This shows how folks
typically create table rows in Japple.
http://www.japple.org/tutorial/dish_list.html

Many times we move the "root" Template node to the <table> element and
create a View JMO that simply runs a DBStatement returns a complete HTML
table.  This way the View JMO is easy to reuse in other pages.  Is this
the sort of thing you are looking for?
