A different approach:

[company-base](!)
; common settings

[company-A](company-base)
; specific for company A

[company-B](company-base)
; specific for company B

[company-C](company-base)
; specific for company C


Keep in mind you can also use:

[sub-template](!,base-template)

And:

[context](template1,template2)

But one limitation is that you can only add: no way to remove line added
by a template your context uses.
