In a paper I'm writing using Sweave, I make use of lattice graphics, but don't want to explicitly show (or explain) in the article text the print() wrapper I need in code chunks for the graphs to appear. I can solve this by including each chunk twice, with different options, as in

<<ortho-xyplot1-code, keep.source=TRUE, eval=FALSE>>=
library(nlme)
library(lattice)
xyplot(distance ~ age|Sex, data=Orthodont, type='b', groups=Subject, pch=15:25,
   col=palette(), cex=1.3, main="Orthodont data")
@
<<ortho-xyplot1,fig=TRUE, include=FALSE, echo=FALSE, width=6, height=6>>=
library(nlme)
library(lattice)
print(xyplot(distance ~ age|Sex, data=Orthodont, type='b', groups=Subject, pch=15:25,
   col=palette(), cex=1.3, main="Orthodont data"))
@

but then, if I decide to change the plotting code, I have to make changes in two places. Is there some feature of Sweave or lattice I've missed that would simplify this? Re-use of code chunks doesn't seem
to apply here.
