Is inheiritance possible in layouts?

Is it possible to have one layout extend another one?

For example:

normal.rhtml: <html> <stuff /> <%= @content_for_layout %> </html>

extra_stuff.rhtml somehow extends normal.rhtml: <morestuff /> <%= @content_for_layout %> <evenmorestuff />

So any page that uses extra_stuff as its layout looks like this: <html> <stuff /> <morestuff /> <%= @content_for_layout %> <evenmorestuff /> </html>

Is this possible to do? It would be really handy. Thanks in advance for the help!

Dave,

It looks very much like DRYML, part of Habo.

For my case simple segment layout I'll just use helper method:
