texte = Well, I'd say from a programming point of view your idea is just a wrong use of nested programming code. Even HTML gets upset with you now-a-days when you incorrectly nest tags. Don't get me wrong, I think your idea is rather cool, but I just don't think any of the programming languages I know would allow function/procedure/code nesting like what you are looking for. End result: rewrite the code OR start using include files more so your replicated code only shows up 1 time per template; only when needed.
