How to reference a static resource from within a datatemplate

Question

I have the following problem:

<DataTemplate x:Key="OrganisationsItemTemplate">
            <StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5,0,0,0">
                <Button Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.LoadSpacesCommand, ElementName=OrganisationList}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Padding="-5,0,-5,-5" Margin="-7,-12,-7,-7" Height="auto" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" UseLayoutRounding="True" FontSize="0.01">
                    <Grid Margin="0,0,5,0">
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="67"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Background="Transparent">
                            <Border Background="White" BorderThickness="0" Width="62" Height="62" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,5">
                                <Image Source="{Binding image.thumbnail_link}" Width="62" Height="62"></Image>
                            </Border>
                        </StackPanel>
                        <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="Transparent">
                            <!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="30" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" />-->
                            <phone:LongListSelector x:Name="SpacesList"
                                        Background="Transparent"
                                        ItemTemplate="{StaticResource SpacesTemplate }" 
                                        ItemsSource="{Binding spaces}" 
                                        Margin="40,0,0,96" 
                                        LayoutMode="List"
                                        HideEmptyGroups="True"
                                        IsGroupingEnabled="False" VerticalContentAlignment="Top">
                            </phone:LongListSelector>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </Grid>
                </Button>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="SpacesTemplate">
            <Border Background="Transparent" Padding="5,0,0,5">
                <Border Background="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" BorderThickness="2" Width="62" 
         Height="62" Margin="0,0,18,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding name}" Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}" FontSize="48" Padding="6" 
            FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiLight}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
                </Border>
            </Border>
        </DataTemplate>

In my data template I am placing LongListselector... which also needs a template. but the SpacesTemplate that is defined outside the current datatemplate cannot be seen. any ideas how to reference the datatemplate "SpacesTemplate" from within the datatemplate "OrganisationsItemTemplate"

Xaml is read top down, if you want to use SpacesTemplate inside OrganisationsItemTemplate you will have to put SpacesTemplate before OrganisationsItemTemplate in the Xaml
