Is this what you want?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{Test list}
\label{sec:orgheadline1}
\begin{org}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\square$ foo
\item $\square$ bar
\end{itemize}
\end{org}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If so, you can get it with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Test list
#+NAME: my-list
#+BEGIN_SRC org :exports none :results value org
     - [ ] foo
     - [ ] bar
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC org :noweb yes :results replace :wrap org :exports results
   <<my-list>>
#+END_SRC
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Assuming that (require 'ob-org) has been taken care of!

HTH,
