The problem I have with it is that, when you add a page, you need to add
both the file and the database entry. For the main site I administer
with H::T, I use my Set extension and have a few lines at the top:

<!-- tmpl_set name=title value=Personnel -->
<!-- tmpl_set name=related0 value=/ -->
<!-- tmpl_set name=related1 value=contact.html -->
<!-- tmpl_include name=top.inc.tmpl>

(actual page content here)

<!-- tmpl_include name=bottom.inc.tmpl>

The site-building script takes these, adds appropriate headers and
<title> tags and so on, and (in a two-pass process) builds all the
related-pages lists with full titles too.

So if I change a page's title, or want to add or delete a related page,
I just have one file to do it in. Everything about that page is in a
single place.
