Simply use an environment (file).

Something like...

[content of file 'env-mylayout.tex']
--------
\startenvironment env-mylayout

....your layout settings....

\stopenvironment
--------


Then put the file somewhere in the tex-path
(??/texmf/texmf-local/tex/context/user/ is a good place) and call
texhash/mktexlsr(!), so that context can find it;

Now you can use your layout settings by just typing

\environment env-mylayout

at the beginning of your document (before \starttext).

If the environment is not already defined, then context tries to load a
file with the same name as the environment name (environment foo -->
foo.tex). I just use the prefix 'env-' to seperate the env. files from
the rest in this folder (typescripts, modules, ...).

Hope that helps,

Peter
