What you want is a literate programming tool. There exists a variety
of them. The two simplest I think of are nuweb (Preston Briggs) and
noweb (Norman Ramsey). Both are language independant.


If you want to discuss literate programming further, the newsgroup
comp.programming.literate is devoted to the subject.
