You might be overlooking named templates. For example you could have a 
template "make-data":

<xsl:template name="make-data">
  <Data>
    <Bind target="tblOne" source="Empreitada" />
    (...)
  </Data>
</xsl:template>

and then call it with <xsl:call-template name="make-data"/>.

These are most useful when you have code that needs to be reused, but 
modularity is another advantage.

These can also be managed in separate files and made available using the 
usual xsl:include or xsl:import features.

Sure thing -- enjoy,
