- Previously-loaded StringTemplateGroup: This means that the the calling program needs to be aware of which stg inherits from which other one, and load them in an appropriate order.
- Search and load automatically: The StringTemplate library defines an interface (StringTemplateGroupLoader) for a class that could load referenced string template group files, however no specific implementation is provided. (Is this correct? -- [GW])
Mixing modes
Though the modes were described above separately, there's some leeway to combine them. For example, it's possible to add new individual StringTemplates to a StringTemplateGroup in either of the two TemplateGroup modes, and to have that template's expressions invoke named templates that are members of the group.

- Inheritance connection is made by the group statement in the stg file of the sub-group. This provides the name of the super-group for StringTemplate to look for in the list of StringTemplateGroups currently loaded. (ie: there is no mechanism for automatically loading a mentioned super-group file (Is this correct? --GW), though there is an interface defined for this if you would like to implement one.)
- See the separate ST condensed - File syntax article for the format of an stg file.
