# Best Practices

When creating template dependencies, follow these guidelines.

1.  Make the `templateVersion` as broad as possible.
2.  Always include namespace.
3.  For ease of maintenance, keep your template dependencies simple. There’s no technical limitation to the number of dependencies you can create. But in practice, it’s best to avoid creating multiple dependencies from one template to others. Also, avoid making supporting templates dependent on other templates.
