Include Twig template which Extends

I am rendering a Twig template as below:

$this->render('base.html.twig');

The content (simplified) of this Twig template looks as below:

{% block headers %}
...
{% endblock %}
{% block pagecontent %}
...

    {# I want to include another template (A) here #}
    {# I want to include another template (B) here #}

{% endblock %}
{% block footers %}
...
{% endblock %}

I have another Twig template which I am not rendering, but I want to include in the above template (where I have placed my Twig comment). The content is as follows:

{% extends '::base' %}
{% block headers %}
{{ parent() }}
{% endblock %}
{% block pagecontent %}
{{ parent() }}
...
{% endblock %}

I want to eventually render several Twig templates inside of base.html.twig.

Is what I am attempting to do achievable, and if so, how do I achieve it?

base.html.twig

{% block headers %}
...
{% endblock %}
{% block pagecontent %}
...

{# I want to include another template (A) here #}
{# I want to include another template (B) here #}

{% endblock %}
{% block footers %}
...
{% endblock %}

Your controller:

$this->render('base.html.twig');

Normally, $this->render('view.html.twig'); accepts only one twig. If you want to have several templates, you can build it like this:

view.html.twig

{% extends '::base' %}
{% block pagecontent %}
    {# Controller function with template 1 #}
    {{ render(controller('AppBundle:Article:recentArticles',{ 'max': 3 })) }}
    {# Controller with template 2 #}
    {{ render(controller('AppBundle:Article:relatedArticles',{ 'max': 4 })) }}
{% endblock %}

ANOTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTION IS : You can break one block into several blocks.

You just need to render child template (the one extending base.html.twig).

Change in your controller:

$this->render('child_template_extending_base.html.twig');

Replace child_template_extending_base with your real template name.

You can also embed another controllers views in your template with this code: 

{{ render(controller(
    'AppBundle:Article:recentArticles',
    { 'max': 3 }
)) }}
