What steps did you doI'm going to set-uptake a stab at answering this generally, since I don't have the page levelparticulars of your specific issue.
All tests in Sitecore (Page tests, content tests, component tests, the tests that run as part of personalization…) are based on a single test definition template. The variations that uses content from multipleI'm aware of are those related to editor presentation and workflow options.
If you've figured out how to hack the page tests to use different templates? When, and you're getting test results out of them, I trycan't envision a scenario where you'd run into trouble. Especially, because tests are designed to reproduce that I get the template validation restrictionrun for a short period of time; we test, we learn something and repeat. Also We're not (at least, what versionnot yet) tracking the history of SC?tests & test results.
The last comment relates to having to select from different templates. Templates are typically tied to data sources. And, we don't typically test different content against one another - an article against an event… If you're Sitecore architecture requires that you make template variations to affect presentation, there's probably a better way -- Component based design.
