Thanks for that idea.

What I'm doing for now is:

   erb -T - erb.conf src.erb

where erb.conf contains local variable definitions:

<%
foo="bar"
... etc
-%>

This is working fine, except that any errors in src.erb are reported 
with an offset line number. e.g.

templates/wrapper.sh.erb:41: warning: found = in conditional, should be 
==

(error actually in line 26 of that file, and erb.conf is 15 lines long)

Cheers,

Brian.
