You could use an {% include %} to avoid repeating the code. This has
a downside - if you want to add a new block to the base template, you
have to go through all the sub-templates and insert the block with the
include.

If I understand correctly this
template_C::
{% extends "A" "B" %}
{% block X %} This template's code {% endblock %}
would be the same as:
template_C::
{% extends "A_withB" %}
{% block X %} This template's code {% endblock %}
A_withB::
{% extends "A" %}
{% include "B" %}
If yes, then I would support this, because it makes templates more
maintainable. You avoid both the include and "A_withB" type templates.
