I'm not certain how these deal with changes to the file that don't 
involve Zope. I think ExternalFile should behave as you want, and maybe 
FSS (it may require a refresh, though--you'll have to check.)

LocalFS should also behave as you expect, but I don't know if it handles 
templates: I've only used it for content.
