Just to add to it: at the moment I have e.g:

#+BABEL: :var MAINVERSION=0
#+BABEL: :var SVNVERSION=(vc-working-revision (buffer-file-name))

#+BABEL: :var DISP_PACKAGE="seedDisp_0.4-13.tar.gz"

which would look horrible in one line and a nightmare to edit.

Any suggestions how this cold be changed?

Wow. I guess I was wrong to imagine your problem was solved.

If your code blocks share the same language, and it supports sessions, I'd bite the bullet and transform them into #+HEADERS lines for the first src block, then reuse them through a session. Does that make sense?

If your variables are going to be used by different src blocks in different languages, I don't have any elegant solution.
