This snippet is useful if you want to include partials of another admin generated module into the current one (at runtime). This is necessary to *always* make sure that the partial is available, even after clearing the cache. And this is not always true. E.g. you're clearing automatically or manually the cache and the partial isn't overridden/existent in the other module's templates directory.
