Reuse page and expanded record form layouts across pages and interfaces

[Nathan_L]

I've got a project where I am designing a set of similar interfaces, accessible to different users.  I would like to reuse page layouts and expanded record layouts (when you open a record from the element on the interface page). I can initially reuse by copying the page, but that doesn't keep them in sync. Having to redesign the same expanding record form layout is also really painful.

Is there some kind of template that can be used for the page layouts and expaded record forms?
