This is not easy.

An object to be cached must use the "ZCachable" Interface
to interact with the cache manager.

Its implementation requires configuration to locate the relevant
cache manager. You must somehow tell your "PageTemplateFile"s
that there is a cache manager for them which they should use.

Look at the "OFS.Cache.Cachable" source to find out the details.
