Name your template 'index_html' and place it one level higher:

<site-root>
     <data-folder>
         'index_html'
         <folder-a>
         <folder-b>
         <folder-c>

Or name your page template 'folder_contents' and put a 'index_html' DMTL 
medthod width '<dtml-var folder_contents>' in every folder:

<site-root>
     'folder_contents'
     <folder-a>
         'index_html'
     <folder-b>
         'index_html'
     <folder-c>
         'index_html'

Or if you use CMF, you can use SkinnedFolders, they can have their own 
'view' instead of acquiring the 'index_html'.
