I can still dream. I have to say, though, thank you very, very much. This certainly clarifies the issue well.The good newsThe behaviour of custom due to more than one custom-set-... statement will be changed in Emacs 21.xx. I've been told that> Multiple calls to custom-set-variables should work in Emacs 21;> if you customize, all the variables go into the first one,> and the rest are deleted.

block. Now if you use the customise your templates with customize and
save them, it will be saved in the custom-set-variables block. For the
current session of emacs you might not experience any problems, but
when you restart emacs depending on which comes first the setq or the
custom-set-variables your templates will be set accordingly. It is
difficult to predict for me which will be the case. For more on this
you can look here[1].
Hope this helps you understand the issue with what you are attempting.
