Sure.   The above snippet system should work fine for what you want to 
do.    Essentially the snippet insertion is done /before/ running things 
through Cheetah, so when given to Cheetah the templates look as if they 
were all part of one big file all along ... so if you do "#set foo = 
'bar'" in one snippet (or in the master template), it's valid later on 
down the line.

Presently you cannot have one snippet include other snippets through the 
Cobbler facility, though you can use Cheetah's built-in include if you 
need that.   Cheetah includes require the usage of "#set global" for 
passing variables between includes.
