Rails - Dec 2005 - Multiple files for the same template

Is there anyway to create an ERb/.rhtml template, telling it to try to 
include the contents of another file, and, if not, fallback to a 
default?

More specifically, I have the site running under multiple "skins", for
different brand names.  I can illustrate this with an example:

I might have in views:
/views/order/pizza.rhtml
/views/order/coke.rhtml

Now, I may have customized pizza.rhtml for one customer, but not for the 
other.  So, I''d like rails to first try looking for pizza.rhtml in 
/views/customized/joespizza/order/pizza.rhtml, and, if it''s not there, 
look in the regular /views/order/pizza.rhtml.

Any good way to do this?

One thing I''m working on is as follows:

1) Add a constant BRAND, in the environment
2) Change the template path to be /BRAND/...
3) Catch MissingTemplate exceptions
4) If the BRAND appears in the path, remove it and retry, else, rethrow

What does eveyone think?
Where should this code go in a plugin?  (IE, into which class/method)
