Well, my main objective was to write piece of code in a given language X 
including information stored in some org-table. 

So my solution for now was to create some python functions able to generate 
my code. I use babel to pass my org-table as input to the python function 
and the result is another source block of language X containing the code 
taking into account the information of my org-table.

I recognized that the solution seems quite heavy but I have already 
developped some python wrapper for my language X so It takes me only 2 hours 
to do the job.

All the best.

Roland.
