I am developing a reproducible research template for R. I am trying to
implement most of a research "compendium" in org. I say "most" because I
am going to allow the actual data to exist outside of org, simply
because most of the data I work with is relational or very large, which
makes storage in plain text problematic or impossible.

Has anyone ever implemented a reproducible research template in org that
I can look at? I looked at the stuff on Worg and there are examples of a
project, but not a template.

In a nutshell, I am trying to do two things.
    1) Provide a structure for reproducible research / programming ;
    2) Provide a small set of helper functions.

But, I don't want the helper functions to get in the way. I have
considered two options:
    1) Store the example code / template stuff in subheadings 
    2) Store the example code / template stuff in an external file.  

Using subheadings is tempting, but I'm afraid that
org-babel-execute-buffer would cause problems for users who don't use
all of the template functions. 

Using an external file, similar to the Lobrary of Babel is also
tempting. It would allow me to make a cleaner template for structure and
still allow users to access any helper functions. Is there a way to link
to an external file, other than the Library of Babel? If so, how do I do
this?

Does anyone have any opinions about hiding/linking/importing example
code in a template?

I certainly appreciate any thoughts.
