just wondering if you could do something like this...
ERB.new( some_erb_string ).result # '<%= result %>' another erb template
so that way the result could be processed by another ERB.new
You are an evil and twisted individual! 
To answer your question, though, sure! ERb can do that.
require 'erb'
@blah = '<%= @not_blah %>'
ERB.new( "blah <%= @blah %>" ).result #=> "blah <%= @not_blah %>"

I use this format in generators for rails. I dont know if it is as clean
looking for short example but for full rhtml pages it works well.

If you really want to be evil and twisted, what's the smallest self-
reproducing erb program you can write that doesn't read its own file.
The following solution is illegal:
<%= open(__FILE__){|f| f.read} %>

I think you mean "what's the smallest non-trivial self-reproducing erb program...":
irb(main):012:0> ERB.new(' ').result

irb(main):013:0> ERB.new('').result

Drat. This nearly works:
<%=s=";\"<%=s=\#{s.inspect}\#{s}\"%\>";"<%=s=#{s.inspect}#{s}"%>
The only reason it doesn't is that ERB barfs on '%>' in a string inside a <%= %> block, while String#inspect ignores it. This requires... trickery.
Luckily, we have trickery on hand. When in doubt, reverse the data:
<%=s=">%\"}esrever.s{#}tcepsni.s{#=s=%<\";";"<%=s=#{s.inspect}#{s.reverse}"%>
That's 77 characters by my count. 77 characters of pure, twisted, evil

Come to think of it, ERB is way too easy a language. You have to define
non-trivial to mean "includes a <% and a %>"

Hey, that doesn't count! It doesn't contain '<%' or '%>'. How about this:
<%=File.new($FILENAME).readlines%>
