Please specify exactly what you want to do so we can tell you what and where to edit.

I think hes saying he doesn't see any interaction between them.

when you ask for a coppermine page, it INCLUDES init.inc.php;
init.inc.php reads the database and request vars determines the theme;
init.inc.php then reads the themes template.html into memory
init.inc.php INCLUDES the themes theme.php
from then on out the coppermine script calls the functions in theme.php which produce html output based
on the in-memory template.html and its own internal templates..

only half of your theme is in template.html, all of the guts of the theme are in theme.php; ie: all of your menu buttons, etc.

and to answer the title, the theme.php goes right beside your template.html in the theme directory. Look at the default themes for examples.
