--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I'm trying to add dynamically created sidebars to a theme I'm developing,
 so I can't know how some of these sidebars will be called. I also have
 sidebars which I can identify normally, but I don't want to create several
 sidebar-(x).php which would all be very simple and identical (they'd only
 call dynamic_sidebar(x)). Actually, in most themes I create I end up using
 the same code for several sidebars.

 I'm facing two issues here:

 1 - I can't get the current sidebar name in the default sidebar.php
 template file
 I worked around this by setting a global variable which is assigned the
 current sidebar name when the get_sidebar action is fired. Then I call
 dynamic_sidebar with this variable as the parameter.

 2 - load_template() doesn't load a template twice
 Either load_template calls require instead of require_once or
 get_sidebar() gets a change like the one that was done with
 get_search_form() in ticket 9908 , where the require was moved inside the
 get_search_form() function.
 Like the search form template, the sidebar template is one which may be
 called multiple times. Maybe the 2nd option would be a better fit.
