Jinja2: How to use named blocks inside included templates, inside extendable template
I am having the Issue with Jinja2 Extend and Import.
base_admin.html
<html>
<body>
<div class="outerbody">
<somehtml code>
{% include "base_admin_nav.html" %}
{% include "base_admin_sidebar.html" %}
{% include "base_admin_content.html" %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
base_admin_content.html
<div class="innerbody">
{% block body_content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
admin.html
{% extends 'base_admin.html' %}
{% block body_content %}
<div>BodyContent</div>
{% endblock %}
The code inside body_content is not passed to base_admin_content.html. Any workarounds?
Note
This is not duplicate of this one jinja2: blocks in included files.. The include is done in different files here
Defining
{% macro admin_content() %}insdidebase_admin_content.htmland importing it insidebase_admin.htmlusing
{% from "base_admin_content.html" import admin_content with context %}
{{ admin_content() }}.
also has no effect.

Edited - to reflect changes in original question
Ok, now that I know you definitely need the includes, here's how I would do it: instead of including the base_admin_content.html file, you should include the admin.html file directly into base_admin.html. The admin.html file will extend base_admin_content.html and everything should work just fine:
base_admin.html
<html>
<body>
<div class="outerbody">
<somehtml code>
{% include 'admin.html' %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
admin.html
{% extends 'base_admin_content.html' %}
{% block body_content %}
<div>BodyContent</div>
{% endblock %}
base_admin_content.html
{% block innerbody %}
<div class="innerbody">
{% block body_content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
Why does this work but your original code does not?
In your base_admin.html file you have
{% include 'base_admin_content.html' %}
Where we have no reference to admin.html, which is why nothing from the admin.html file shows up!. Therefore, we should do this:
{% include 'admin.html' %}
Because that does contain a reference to base_admin_content in the extends line:
{% extends 'base_admin_content.html' %}
Hopefully that makes sense...
