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.
