Have you discovered the <tiles:insert> tag yet? Sounds to me like this is what you're wanting ... no need to re-invent the wheel if you don't have to. (you said definition - that's tiles nomenclature - that's why I made my assumption ... ). If you're not looking at tiles, you may want to. It's conceivable it may suit your needs (defining reusable "chunks" which can be rendered at any given point).
Of course, if I _totally_ missed your point, just repost with more information.
