You may want to look at the various templating packages available, in
case one of them does what you want.  Check out skeleton.el in
particular (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SkeletonMode for some
examples) since any element of the template can itself be a template.
That will probably save you a lot of time.

Anytime you find yourself auto-generating functions you should wonder if
your data structure could be better (sometimes the answer is 'no' :)
