I'm trying to think of a way that doesn't use an intermediate file,

memory buffers (-b-1) instead of cat, but it doesn't work any better,
probably because of how pipes work.
Will this do:
#!/bin/bash
STATIC_FILE=`/bin/cat << "EOF"
jumps over

EOF`
BASH_VAR_1="The quick"
BASH_VAR_2="brown fox"
echo "$STATIC_FILE" |
/bin/gawk -v i="$BASH_VAR_1" -v j="$BASH_VAR_2" 'BEGIN {
print i
print j

{
print ($0)
}'
