I am developing a custom plugin for a site and I am having issues loading a template into the plugin. The template is a normal EE template, but when I try something such as

$my_template = $this->EE->load->view('_includes/load_me_please', '', TRUE)

Error

Unable to load the requested file: _includes/load_me_please.php

How can I override or load this template data into my plugin? I have seen references to changing “$this->EE->load->_ci_view_path” but the template is located (and should remain in) my default EE template directory not a third_party folder. Also, is there a CONSTANT for the current EE template directory? I did not notice one in the documentation. THANK YOU for any help you can lend.
