A:
use HTML::Template::Pro;
then, if you don't 'use HTML::Template;'
both are equivalent.
so call
my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => $tmp_file )
also uses Pro.

It is better to develop code with HTML::Template,
because its debug facilities currently much better,
but to swich ready code to HTML::Template::Pro 
(replacing use HTML::Template with HTML::Template::Pro) 
because it faster, lighter and so on.  
On the other hand, it is useful for writing scripts which
works with both modules.

in case when both modules are loaded 
use HTML::Template::Pro;
use HTML::Template;

my $template = HTML::Template::Pro->new( filename => $tmp_file )
uses Pro,
but 
my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => $tmp_file )
uses HTML::Template.

Maybe.
I also used mixing it in the same file for benchmark.pl.t
:)

A:
It is possible through EXPR="", for example, <tmpl_include expr="variable">.
