Answer 1

This is what I understand from your question-

You have index.php which renders to templates.tpl template and shop.php with some menus(Not clear if both have the same menus or different)

Are you rendering shop.php output to some template? like shop.tpl, if so.. You can have a structure something like

templates.tpl

{include file="menu.tpl"}
<!-- Templates body -->

shop.tpl

{include file="menu.tpl"}
<!-- Shop body -->
