Sorry for the delay.

I'll try to reword the question in phpwiki terms.

We have RandomPage plugin which lists a list of up to random 10 pagenames.
You want to present the content of the the first paragraph of 4-6 random pa=
ges?

That would be possible with the <!plugin RandomPage numpages=3D5 !>
syntax as page argument to IncludePages.

Untested:
<?plugin IncludePages pages=3D<!plugin RandomPage numpages=3D5 !> lines=3D1=
0 ?>

Including the first paragraph is only possible if you know the exact
name of the heading.

I'll probably add support to use the x-th paragraph (textblock) or
section (all blocks in this heading).
