Load external phtml file on product page

Question

I want to load a custom .phtml file on product page. I just did this:

Inside view.phtml I added this line:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('short_specificaties'); ?>

In local.xml I added this line inside <reference name="product.info"> :

<block type="core/template" name="short_specificaties" as="short_specificaties" template="catalog/product/view/shortspecs.phtml"/>

And inside the shortspecs.phtml I added this code:

<?php
    $_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
    $_product = $this->getProduct();
    $theme = $this->helper('ultimo');
    $helperSnippets = $this->helper('ultimo/rsnippets');
?>

<?php $yourCatIds = array(235);
$productCats = $_product->getAvailableInCategories();

if (count(array_intersect($yourCatIds,$productCats))) {
    echo '<li class="test even">' . $_product->getAttributeText('i_display_diagonal_944_1') . '</li>';
    echo '<li class="test even">' . $_product->getAttributeText('i_processor_family_2196_1') . '</li>';
    echo '<li class="test even">' . $_product->getAttributeText('i_internal_memory_11381_1') . '</li>';
    echo '<li class="test even">' . $_product->getAttributeText('i_total_storage_capac_3318_1') . '</li>';
}
?>

But that breaks down the page. What am I doing wrong?

Jelle,there issue with block type.As you call product view class functions.So,it block type should be type="catalog/product_view" from type="core/template"
