Shared region not updating on page templates

I appear to have an issue where a global footer which using a shared region is updating okay for normal pages at root level, but not updating on any sub pages that were created using a Perch pages template. On my site I have used templates to create toplevel and sublevel pages. (example template below). When the dynamic page is created it has the following string included:

<?php include(str_replace('/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '../perch/templates/pages/toplevel.php')); ?>

It would appear that it simply cannot find the template for updating the footer <?php perch_layout('global.footer'); ?> to make the change. I have tried removing the two dots before ../perch but this breaks the page. Can you advise where this string comes from? Is it default from Perch? And can you offer some advice on how to resolve this issue?

example page template

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/perch/runtime.php'); ?>

<?php perch_layout('global.header'); ?>

<?php perch_pages_navigation('navigation'); ?>

<?php perch_content('Page Style'); ?>


    <div class="main-content">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="top-level-wrapper">

            <?php perch_content('Blocks'); ?>


        </div>
      </div>
    </div><img class="tg-on-pages triangle-graphic" sizes="25vw" src="/images/triangle-graphic.png" srcset="/images/triangle-graphic-p-500.png 500w, /images/triangle-graphic-p-800.png 800w, /images/triangle-graphic-p-1080.png 1080w, /images/triangle-graphic.png 1128w">
  </div>

 <?php perch_layout('global.footer'); ?>
