Try this layout instead:

/root/
    template   (define-macro="page"
                define-slot="navigation" <put your default navigation in here>)
    index_html (use-macro="here/template/macros/page")

/root/subfolder/
      template (define-macro="page"
                use-macro="root/template/macros/page"
                fill-slot="navigation" ,with your custom nav>)
      index_html (use-macro="here/template/macros/page")

cheers,
