Tim,
I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do, but it looks like you're trying to control what levels in the structure get TOCs. This is controlled through a parameter called generate.toc, and you shouldn't need to customize any templates to assign TOCs at various levels in the structure.
You can find a description of how to set generate.toc in Bob Stayton's book. Here is a link to the pertinent section:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TOCcontrol.html
If I'm missing something, and you need to do something more, you will find a complete description of TOC customization in that same section.
I hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton
