there is a sort of clipboard/yank history.
Where it may not help in this particular example, you may be interested
in a general Copy/delete/paste strategy for Vim.
If that is the case, you may want to look into my YankRing plugin:

Besides the description on the website, it comes with a full tutorial to
take you through the various features, to give you an idea of how to use it.

I use your plugin and it's very nice, thank you, I have a small comment
/ question: it disables a useful idiom for exchanging two chunks of
text, e.g.:
(word1, word2) => delete word1, visually select word2, 'p' to paste
over it, '2b' to go back, P to paste word2.
Is there some trick or an option to have it work with YankRing?
thanks! -Rainyday
