In addition to @user85461 answer, the require view part did not work for me. What i did: removed the path stuff and moved it all to a module i could require, patch.ViewEnableMultiFolders.js (Works with current express):

function ViewEnableMultiFolders(app) {
    // Monkey-patch express to accept multiple paths for looking up views.
    // this path may change depending on your setup.
    var lookup_proxy = app.get('view').prototype.lookup;

    app.get('view').prototype.lookup = function(viewName) {
        var context, match;
        if (this.root instanceof Array) {
            for (var i = 0; i < this.root.length; i++) {
                context = {root: this.root[i]};
                match = lookup_proxy.call(context, viewName);
                if (match) {
                    return match;
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
        return lookup_proxy.call(this, viewName);
    };
}

module.exports.ViewEnableMultiFolders = ViewEnableMultiFolders;

and used:

var Patch = require('patch.ViewEnableMultiFolders.js');
Patch.ViewEnableMultiFolders(app);
app.set('views', ['./htdocs/views', '/htdocs/tpls']);
