This nifty little snippet will scan your module for tpl.php files. Include template files from your module. Override default template in custom module. I usually have a single module where I keep my custom project based alterations.

  5.   // Add overridden templates from the modules directory.
  6.   $module_path = drupal_get_path('module', 'HOOK');
  7.   // Find all .tpl.php files in this module's folder recursively.
  8.   $template_file_objects = drupal_find_theme_templates($theme_registry, '.tpl.php', $module_path);

  10.   // Iterate through all found template file objects.
  11.   foreach ($template_file_objects as $key => $template_file_object) {
  12.     // If the template has not already been overridden by a theme.
  13.     if (!isset($theme_registry[$key]['theme path']) || !preg_match('#/themes/#', $theme_registry[$key]['theme path'])) {
  14.       // Alter the theme path and template elements.
  15.       $theme_registry[$key]['theme path'] = $module_path;
  16.       $theme_registry[$key] = array_merge($theme_registry[$key], $template_file_object);
  17.       $theme_registry[$key]['type'] = 'module';
  18.     }
  19.   }
