Templates with Theme?
Is there a way to associate/incorporate template(s) with a theme? I'm just wondering, for sake of easy deployment, if as much as possible could be with the theme?

Yes, from builder 4.0 you have layout resources which can be like templates in fairly complex ways, there is teh basic usage, eg:
{import:%current%::resource.ext} will attempt to import the resource into the page - resources are inherited hierarchically, so child layouts may override the text resources of another layout.
A more interesting usage is {import:mytemplate} will cause the import macro to look in the space for a page called 'mytemplate' if it doesnt exist then it will check for a space template called 'mytemplate', then a global template and finally a layout resource called 'mytemplate.wiki' on the current layout or one of it's parents.
In a slightly related matter, it's also possible to include confluence global templates in a builder backup by checking the box on the backup tab.
