I fear you may need some other product!

Surely all you have here is two identical (unrelated) templates?

I think all you did wrong is to imagine that 
templates derived from templates exist in a 
hierarchy. Unless I'm mistaken (always a 
possibility!) I think that templates exist only 
to create a particular starting point for a 
document. So the document created from your first 
template inherited its properties but no 
association with that (first) template. When  you 
saved it as a template you had two identical 
templates with no association - so no hierarchy. 
You can change either of them independently but 
without any consequential changes.

I trust this helps.
