Interesting.  It certainly can be done.

What you want to be doing is to have your collection of files for Queue
'foo'.  For simplicity, give them the extension '.foo'.

Then, you can change your main pages to include files based on the queue
name, eg:

	<& /Elements/TitleBoxEnd.$queuename &>

( This is a quick example, and I'm skipping over a lot of stuff, such as
  how you're setting $queuename etc ).

If you wanted to be more tricky, you could have your magic include file,
like:

	<& /Elements/DefInclude, queue => $queuename, include =>
	  '/Elements/TitleBoxEnd &>

Where /Elements/DefInclude looked for the requested_file.$queuename, or
the requested_file in the former's absence.

Its not that complex, it would just be annoying to set this up (in
changing all the files that did includes in the appropriate manner).
