Note that the three .html files should be under a views directory. Gist doesn't allow full paths as filenames.

When I run this on Express 2.2.2, I get this error:

TypeError: Object module.exports = function(__obj) {
  var _safe = function(value) {
    if (typeof value === 'undefined' && value == null)
      value = '';

    result.ecoSafe = true;
    return result;
  };
  return (function() {
    var __out = [], __self = this, _print = function(value) {
      if (typeof value !== 'undefined' && value != null)
        __out.push(value.ecoSafe ? value : __self.escape(value));
    }, _capture = function(callback) {

But if I tweak require('eco') to require('ejs'), it works as expected.
