Description

There are currently 7 freemarker files in the order applications that have multiple screenlets in the same template file. They are:

entry/cart/showcart.ftl
entry/cart/showPromotionDetails.ftl
entry/order/orderheader.ftl
entry/poheader.ftl (may not be used)
order/orderheader.ftl
quote/ViewQuoteInfo.ftl
request/ViewRequestInfo.ftl

I would like these to be split up. Screenlets, when defined make up a good chunk of reusable code. When multiple screenlets inhabit the same template file, you either have to reuse all of the code or none if it. By splitting these up, the parts are more likely to be reused than the whole.

Because the order application is the base for so many custom applications in addition to ecomerce and wholesale and salesrep, making it reusable will lower the maintenance those applications require. Please vote on this and I will submit patches. Thanks
