Found it. It's not altogether trivial so I thought I'd post it. In the middle template (index.html in my example) it is imperative to have the extnds tag on the very first line. I had a html comment line at the top which caused the parent connection to fail, an empty line has the same effect. This is not the case for the single level inheritance, that works fine despite the extra line.
