I have mostly written a bash script to do what's wanted here, (I think), using 
DCOP to copy and paste from sources files into the space between 
<!--INC:"myblock.html"-->
and
<!--/INC:-->


I'll post the script when I've finished commenting/debugging it but here's the 
section that does the work.  Some lines will have wrapped.

---snip---
# Open the required file(s)
dcop quanta-$PID WindowManagerIf openFile $PROJECT/$TEMPLATES/$INFILE 0 0
INFILE_IF_NUM=`dcop quanta-$PID WindowManagerIf currentEditorIfNum` 
#echo "infile if num = $INFILE_IF_NUM" #debug
# Select and copy the file contents
dcop quanta-$PID SelectionInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM selectAll 
dcop quanta-$PID ClipboardInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM-$INFILE_IF_NUM copy 
dcop quanta-$PID ViewCursorInterface#$IF_NUM-$IF_NUM setCursorPosition 
$L_START 0
# Now paste at the cursor position
dcop quanta-$PID ClipboardInterface#$IF_NUM-$IF_NUM paste 
# Clear the selection in the source file
dcop quanta-$PID SelectionInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM clearSelection 
---pins---


It deletes the old content first so it can also be used to easily update your 
page.  It works fine but I cannot find a DCOP method to return the focus back 
to the updated page, it stays with the last loaded page.  Have I missed it or 
is there no method to set the focus to a named/numbered editor window?
