Using vb:raw in templates

How are your custom pages implemented?

The pages are done using templates. I followed an article on here for creating custom pages using templates.

I have this in my php file.

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'info');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('siterules');

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Forum'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

//Use as http:/site.com/test.php?do=siterules
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == "siterules") {
$pagetitle = 'Site Rules';
$templater = vB_Template::create('siterules');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());
exit;
}


?>

I think this is all I need in the PHP file.

So, I have a template called "siterules", using the PHP file above. I now want to add a navigation bar on this page and a further 4 pages so when I add/change a link, it reflects on all pages. How can I use a plugin to pull the template "navigation" and insert it on each of the custom pages?
