Question re: using templates in SPlt from v.i.control...

In response to a Studio1 user, I pointed out the advantage of track templates... this has raised some interest over there... Here's a question I can't respond to... help!

Sonar allows for unlimited "track" templates you can bring into any song... full on setups/effects/routings/instruments/subsmixes/effects sends/prochannel setups/patchpoints/etc.

With Sonar, can you have routing references between templates? For example, say I have a mix template, that sets up a busses for mixing, reverb, etc. And then I have another template for, say, Strings. Can my strings tracks have a send to the reverb bus created by the mix template, and not actually part of the strings template? If so, what happens when you pull in the strings template before the mix template? Does it understand the dependency, or does it ignore the sends that fail to resolve?
 
OK, gurus... how does this work... ???
