Each template is a different movie clip in the Library. It is added to the stage when it's required.
The Template then constructs itself, making additional requests to the server if required.
In the Blog Example, the Template knows it must load a list of previous Blog Entries to build a menu on the side, and then it must load the most recent blog entry.
Also, if you want to allow your visitors to post comments, you can use WordPress's own Comment Script. Locate the file: wp-comments-post.php, and lookup the fields required to post.
