Yes, it should work if you reference the template *without* the app_name
for instance
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% include "footer.html" %}
or in python with «render(request, "base.html", ctx)» but you never render
the base html or footer directly so this is dummy example

it only works if you reference the app_name when you call the template for
instance «render(request, "app_name/index.html", ctx)» same for include and
extends.
It's a convention to avoid clash between templates names, it a way to
namespace templates, otherwise you would need to namespace the names of the
templates like: «app_name_index.html» which is not nice...
