If I understand correctly, yes, you can keep a terse LaTeX file using
lilpondfile. Imagine you have all common definitions and global music
in A.ly and your documents are B.ly, C.ly and so on, such that all use
\include "A.ly" to read the common part. Your text document called
D.tex can use \lilypondfile{B}, \lilypondfile{C}, et cetera.

I am trying to understand what you want to do.

Are you trying to build a LaTeX file which reads in a number of LilyPond files, each of which contains a number of common LilyPond code and settings?

If so, I'd recommend you use lilypond-book.py and read the following recent thread:
