If your code is well formed enough to be XML ;-), you could use
something like JDom to access the files within some new classes
(e.g. a BlockListModel and a BlockHashModel class),
where  BlockListModel |>--- BlockHashModel.=20

So, TemplateListModel and TemplateHashModel are your friends :-)

If your "blocks" look like

<block>
 <block>
 </block>
 <block>
 </block>
</block>

The BlockListModel would allow you to do

(add "new BlockListModel("/path/to/some/block/file")" as "blocks"
 to the TemplateRootModel)

<foreach block in blocks>
 ${block.type} contains ${block.htmlContent}
 with ${block.countInnerBlocks()} nested Blocks:

 <foreach innerBlock in block>
  ....
 </foreach>
</foreach>

( "block" is now a  BlockHashModel,  )
