If I'm understanding right, I think blocks do work fine for your situation.
What you can't do, as Tim explained, is have blocks in an included
template interact with blocks in the including template. They are two
totally separate renders, with totally separate inheritance hierarchies.
But there's no problem with included templates having their own
independent inheritance hierarchy, with blocks.
So you can have an `item_base.html` that contains `{% block someblock
%}{% endblock %}`, and then define `item_foo.html` that `{% extends
"item_base.html" %}` and has `{% block someblock %}foo content{%
endblock %}`, and you can have a `main.html` that has `{% include
"item_foo.html" %}`, and all that should work fine -- the included
portion should display "foo content".
What you can't do is expect the `{% block someblock %}` in
`item_base.html` or `item_foo.html` to interact in any way with a `{%
block someblock %}` in `main.html` (or its parent). The included
template and the including template have separate and unrelated
inheritance and blocks.
