It *is* a good idea. I'm doing that right now, and it is very useful. 
A program I'm working on has 3 different lists. Each "include" which 
managed a list (adding, deleting, editing items) was about 160 lines of code.
I've replaced those 3 with a single include, included 3 times, saving 2/3 of 
the code, and making changes, bug fixes, etc. far easier (there's only one 
place to fix, instead of 3)

Later, when I have 6 or 7 lists, I'll _still_ have only about 160 lines of 
code driving all the lists, so the savings could be significant.
