 The locate_template functions utilizes require_once to include files. With
 get_generic_template providing the ability to simply include template
 files we should make it more flexible so users can include the same file
 twice from one template file.

 For example if I wanted to create a custom template for a parent page with
 children and display the content from the children on the parent page I
 would use get_generic_template('loop','page') for the loop for the parent
 page, followed by another get_generic_template('loop','page') for each
 child page.

 I suggest we replace the require_once function of locate_template with a
 require function to increase the administrators accessibility to template
 files.
