Hi,
Aren’t environments used for setups (and not for textual content). Maybe a
buffer may be what you want ?

With a single environment it seems to work, though when I expand it to
multiple, it does not seem to work anymore

An environment is a separate file.
\environment is like \input with a few more checks, e.g. it loads the
file only once.
e.g.
-- file "env_foo.tex" --
\startenvironment env_foo
% settings
\stopenvironment
--
-- file document.tex --
\environment env_foo
\starttext
% whatever
\stoptext
--
Instead of the call within your document, you can also call
context --environment=env_foo.tex document
(Usually that makes only sense in XML workflows.)

What would be the easiest way to implement this? Usually, the best way to load setups is using \environment at the top of your file. I don’t understand the sense in placing this in the bottom, and since it’s against the flow of instructions it would at least involve a second pass, and I don’t see how anything would work without loading it on top. You could load an environment with a command line option, if you must avoid it in your file.

What would be the easiest way to implement this? Can you provide a minimal example, natural tables provide a mechanism to separate layout and content but we can't know what you use in your document.
