In the current code, it is done this way. Any 'use' directive overwrites the
previous one without being interpreted.

No. Another reason why it cannot be handled at read time is that the current
syntax allows to "use" a template even if it is defined later in the same
file or in another.

One way to allow multiple template uses in an object could be to replace the
'template' field in xodtemplate objects by a template linked list and modify
the code in the xodtemplate_resolve_<object>() functions to apply missing
properties from this template list. But, before doing that, we should extend
the template syntax to include more template combination options.
