As mentioned, read up on Test Fragments and Module Controllers.

Also explore the use of properties files to seed your test variables. I
make functional tests that I use to assert the consistency of disparate
environments. I put all the environmentally unique variables (hosts, ports,
passwords...) into a single property file like so:
DEV.WEB.HOST=devserver.com
DEV.WEB.PORT=8080
PROD.WEB.HOST=myserver.com
PROD.WEB.PORT=443

I run my tests with something like: java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar
-JTARGETENVIRONMENT=PROD

Then I run a little script in the setup thread to use the right set of
properties based on the TARGETENVIRONMENT value

It's a little bit of setup work, but then serves me well in the long run.

We do this all the time. Our test cases include 'modules' to do things like 
'login', and 'registration', etc. You want to use User
Variables, and User Parameters, and Include Controllers and Module Controllers 
in order to accomplish this.

Is it possible to design reusable modules within JMeter?  For example, there 
are 3 pages with same design.  Each has main response
and an additional AJAX request.  I'd like to have one module that takes a 
parameter to navigate to the specified page.  This way, if
there's any change, I just need to change one place instead of 3.  Can JMeter 
test be written just through Java API's without using
the GUI, as the GUI doesn't seem to support any modularization?  Thanks.

Reusable JMeter Modules

Is it possible to design reusable modules within JMeter?  For example,
there are 3 pages with same design.  Each has main response and an
additional AJAX request.  I'd like to have one module that takes a
parameter to navigate to the specified page.  This way, if there's any
change, I just need to change one place instead of 3.  Can JMeter test be
written just through Java API's without using the GUI, as the GUI doesn't
seem to support any modularization?  Thanks.
