I like that idea too-- I just don't like having to learn what amounts to a 
third language to do it. Does one have to have a templating engine in order 
to achieve this?

I find reusability to be, largely, a theoretical mantra, templates or not. 
In general, between applications, so much changes that even the same basic 
idea means that the most reusable part are SQL queries and such, and I 
already keep THOSE separate.

And I've been looking for good examples of code on the web-- examples that 
exemplify forethought and reusability. I must be looking in the wrong 
places :)
