 In the past few days I was trying to modify (with no success) the code of
 Wordpress Core to let users who has capability to write posts, to choose
 (in Write Post screen) what Post Template they want to use, like Wordpress
 already do with Pages.

 http://iferrari.net/post-template-feature-in-wordpress-26/

 To become included in the release feature list, this suggestion should be
 at least, very useful, so why am I proposing this?

 Just an example. If you are using categories to classify books, the Book
 will be the post. You have to use custom fields to display some additional
 data, so you’ll have to prepare your single.php (unique post template) to
 display correctly this data.

 In the same site you have to display pictures, movies, cars,etc… All of
 these data has it’s own group of custom fields.

 Just imagine the hundreds of lines your single.php will have just to check
 what custom fields it should be displayed if you have 40 60 +100
 categories associated with main cats: pictures, movies, cars...

 I modified the follow files:

 wp-includes/theme.php
 Line 440 - 461

 wp-admin/includes/template.php
 Line 905 - 915

 wp-admin/includes/theme.php
 Line 53 - 76

 wp-admin/includes/post.php
 Line 206 / 226-227 / 330 / 406

 wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php
 Line 269-280

 Like I'm not so familiar with wp core code and well know php dev I got
 some erros.
 The image I attached reproduce the Page Template in Write Post

 I would like if someone give feedback.
 kind regards.
