I registered two separate cpt’s during plugin activation, and each of those cpt’s should use a custom single template that I had bundled with the plugin code base. You should be able to do the same for page templates, … Read more
As I have stated, never ever use query_posts. The page you have linked to in the codex is worth nothing and completely wrong.
