In the meantime, I just populate a template variable with the path of the
current directory so my PROCESS/INCLUDE statements look like this:

Easy enough, but it's more intuitive without the params.dir bit.
Now what I want is to have the system look for files included via
PROCESS/INCLUDE directives in the templates directory if they dont' exist in
the catalog. I think I will have to hack on TT a bit to accomplish that
though.
No, you don't, you just need to put all of the directories to be
searched, in the correct order, into your include path. People seem to
be constantly confused about this, so I think maybe it should be in
giant red blinking letters at the top of the Template docs: you can
change the include path. You can change it on every request. You can
change it hundreds of times, during a request if you feel like it. It
is dynamic.

If you want more examples, you'll find hundreds of discussions about
this in the mailing list archives. Feel free to ask if it doesn't make
sense to you.
