If you write a module you can use -page.tpl.php for as many pages as
you wish.

If the script was not written in a way it can be easily embedded
well... it won't be easy to embed it ;)

If they did something like

file1.php:
<?php
...
require_once('bla.php');
...


bla.php:
<?php
$globalvariable="blabla";

function a() {
}
function b() {
}
?>
<strong>some html outside functions</strong>


It is hard you'll ever be able to include bla.php to reuse functions
a() and b() in a clean way.

Once you've to deal with such code you'll have to do dirty things.

Of course you can wrap everything inside a function in a module being
careful to take care of the scopes and paths.

mymodule.php
function myfunc() {
require_once('bla.php');
};
