Is it possible to template a template in WPF XAML?

Is it possible to use templates within templates?
For instance, I have the following two templates:
<HierarchicalDataTemplate
x:Key="RecursiveTemplate"
ItemsSource="{Binding Children}">
<StackPanel Margin="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Ellipse Fill="DarkGreen" Width="14" Height="14"/>
<TextBlock
MouseDown="OnTreeMouseDown"
TargetUpdated="OnTargetUpdated"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityInverter}}"
Margin="5"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBox
PreviewKeyDown="OnTreeKeyDown"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}"
Margin="2"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate
x:Key="ContainerTemplate"
ItemsSource="{Binding Children}">
<StackPanel Margin="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Ellipse Fill="DarkBlue" Width="14" Height="14"/>
<TextBlock
MouseDown="OnTreeMouseDown"
TargetUpdated="OnTargetUpdated"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityInverter}}"
Margin="5"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBox
PreviewKeyDown="OnTreeKeyDown"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}"
Margin="2"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
There's a section of identical XAML:
<TextBlock
MouseDown="OnTreeMouseDown"
TargetUpdated="OnTargetUpdated"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityInverter}}"
Margin="5"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBox
PreviewKeyDown="OnTreeKeyDown"
Visibility="{Binding Editing, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}"
Margin="2"
Text="{Binding Name}"/>
Is it possible to move that to a resource and refer to it by name, rather than repeat it?
