This seems to me to add complexity where you don't need it. You 
should have an "Include()" directive which lets you place includes 
before at the top, after that, module definitions etc.

Then you place all the relevent code you want to insert into .cpp 
files which are then #include'd by the Include() in the right place.

This makes keeping bits separate and maintainable much easier. It's 
what I use myself here using a python script to postprocess the pyste 
output.
