Hi Michael,
I looked a little bit into the code for blocks (core-blk.tex) and it
seems to be impossible with the current implementation.
The before and after commands do not realy put their content at the
begin and end of a block.
I made a small solution that did what you want more or less.
The \usemyblocks read the content from the output file jobname.tub and
process the content between \thisisblock and \thiswasblock. The version
below takes every block between these two commands and put them into
boxes. To improve this macro you can make a test if the current
environment it reads is a Requirement or a Priority and put it
dependent of the bloxk into the left and right box or to make a empty
block if one of them is misssing.
