How to duplicate a block of VF code with a one liner?

is there a way to put an ID or someting on a block of code, say a couple of buttons, and then insert them again somewhere else in the page using just one line of code?  

 

something like this:

 

<apex:outputPanel id="buttons">
  <apex:commandButton value="Process" action="{!process}"/>
  <apex:commandButton value="Reverse" action="{!reverse}"/>
  <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
</apex:outputPanel>

  ....

<apex:render value="buttons">  <!-- this here would display the buttons block again -->

This helps you to create your own reusable components, which you can reference anywhere in your code.

Thanks for the response.   From what I see, apex components have to be defined in a separate file.   Is there a way to define a component on the same page where it's used?

Unfortunately, we cannot define and use a component in the same vf page.
