I was curious if there is an option to allow macros in multiple template files to be replaced using just one substitution file.

Like, suppose we have three template files named test1.template, test2.template, and test3.template. Is it possible for there to be just one substitution file so that the macros in those templates can be correctly substituted during the build process?

I would say that having multiple "file" commands in a substitution file is pretty standard.
Note that the syntax definition (at https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-16/2-docs/AppDevGuide/DatabaseDefinition.html#x7-2740006.12.1) also allows one or more of those commands.

Or did I get the question wrong?

Cheers,
