It is possible to edit a post’s “parent” field and use it. I’ve verified this by editing the field directly in the mySQL database and then displaying the field’s value in my theme. Seems like just changing a few lines of code should cause it to be displayed in the post editor…
I used the hack method, setting TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH in the index2.php. It works great, thanks! I thought I’d have to rewrite some code.
it works just fine on my site:

What I envision is that index2 sets a variable or something that overrides the current theme selection. Obviously I’d have to modify some wordpress code to make this happen.
I’ll look into the theme switcher since it’ll probably give me a clue as to which code I need to change.
