What you see is actually why libraries are capable of showing you a combined view from many places. What if both places had different templates? Which one should 'win the war' and be the one you see? That's hypothetical anyway, because the library nevertries to guess, because the actual view you see when you use a library is based on the library definition file - literally the file that tells it what place(s) to search and how to organize the 'search results' from all those drives.When you create a library, or use one of the default ones, you are really just creating a search definition, telling it where to look and what layout to use when showing the results. So of course no matter how far into the library you go, the style willbe whatever the search results are saved to be.
