Right, the includes will be relative to TEMPLATE_DIRS.

The template system will only look for "part_2.html" under "channel_a"
if "channel_a" is in your TEMPLATE_DIRS.

Or you could leave TEMPLATE_DIRS alone and use this in "channel_b/part_1.html":
{% include "channel_b/part_2.html" %}

But is it a good idea?
If it turns out that the only solution for your problem is to have
some fallback mechanism when including templates, you could always
write a template tag to do just that. And maybe you can solve it
using some combination of template inheritance, inclusion and
select_template.
