I wasn't aware of that layout of the syntax, that's a really interesting way of writing it. The OP would seem to want "blocks" added to this though. This is all very reminiscent of Stages though, so surely if there IS a solution that satisfies the original need it would be an adjustment to stages. Maybe more dynamic substages... main.a, main.b or something as actually different stages would cause all sorts of mess if treated this glibly. If it were possible to run multiple stages within a single class (you can't, right?) then that'd nearly be the solution already.
