I want to create a page called "Inner". I then want to create a subpage called "Contact" that inherits from "inner"

I then would like to take the subtemplate and apply it to contact. What I have done is created a template called "inner" with a variable called $layout.

I then created two subtemplates in the layout folder.

inner.ss and contact.ss

When i create an inner page it correctly loads the inner layout template.

but, when i create a contact page it does not load the contact layout template.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
