go template is not receiving data passed when using 2 ParseFiles

Im trying to create a handler which then will compile 2 templates: template.html which serves layout purposes and the actual page: config.html.

this code builds the page, but no data is passed:

func config(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fpTemplate := filepath.Join("static", "template.html")
    fpPage := filepath.Join("static", "config.html")

    tmpl, err := template.ParseFiles(fpPage, fpTemplate)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("webserver.config: " + err.Error())
    }

    vd := ViewData{&Settings}

    err = tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "template.html", vd)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("webserver.config: " + err.Error())
    }
}

and config.html like this:

{{define "title"}} 
Config 
{{end}}

{{define "body"}}

<p class="text-break">

{{ .}}

</p>
{{end}}

, when I run this code:

func config(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fpTemplate := filepath.Join("static", "template.html")
    fpPage := filepath.Join("static", "config.html")

    //tmpl, err := template.ParseFiles(fpPage, fpTemplate)
    tmpl, err := template.New("config.html").ParseFiles(fpPage, fpTemplate)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("webserver.config: " + err.Error())
    }

    vd := ViewData{&Settings}

    err = tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, tmpl.Name(), vd)
    fmt.Println(err)
    //err = tmpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "template.html", vd)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("webserver.config: " + err.Error())
    }
}

I get error: template: no template "config.html" associated with template "config.html" and blank black page.

What im I missing here ?

Appreciated any help!
