Why would it ever break? I can see it getting slow because it cannot be optimized but not breaking, all it's doing is just including one thing after the other
{{a}} gets Template:A which contains "foo" and {{b}} gets Template:B which contains "bar" hence
{{a}}{{b}} = foobar
Why would this break in whatever parser you plan to implement?
The only reason i can see why that would happen is if you were to implement some auto-completion of the table syntax. Sort of like tidy(html) for wikisyntax and do it before things get fetched from Template: rather than after everything has been included.

We would if we could. See ToL talk for more.
Can I regard this as an official statement that you will not mind those multi-template boxes breaking when a new parser is introduced that will support the "correct" way? :)
If that is the case, then that will make my job for the new parser way easier.
Thanks, Timwi
