I don't think you fully understand the meaning of templates in WordPress. You do not choose template by including it in URL, WordPress deals with choosing template by making sense of URL request.

See Template Hierarchy in Codex.

i think you can create an empty page and then under settings->reading settings you can set that newly created page to "display latest posts". i think that should get that page to trigger index.php
