Note

If you are using. Def as a template file, the nested folders, to start from the most superior to find files
如果使用.def作为模板文件时，嵌套文件夹的情况，要从最上级开始往下查找文件

{{#def._include('sub1/test1')}} or sub1/test1.def

def._include('../sub1/test1') // This is wrong

If you are using. The dot file as a nested template, please add. Dot suffix
如果文件作为嵌套模板，请加上.dot后缀名

{{#def._include('demo.dot')}}
