I sometimes use noweb references for the purpose of having either a 
concise code block to tangle or a document for export that draws on code 
blocks elsewhere in the document.

>From what I see higher in this thread, I recommend that you export a 
subtree that includes src blocks with noweb refs. Whatever latex 
boilerplate you need can be :EXPORT_*: properties. see

 	(info "(org) Noweb reference syntax")

and the paragraphs at the end of

 	(info "(org) Export settings")
