1) On phtml files

$this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')->setTemplate('template path')->toHtml(); // change the block type as per your need and change the template path as well.

2) From layout xml

<your_handler>
    <block type="your block" name="name">
     <block type="core/template" name="name here" as="alias here" template="path/here/test.phtml"/>
    </block>
   </your_handler>

Now call the file inside your block. you can call like this $this->getChildHtml(alias name);

I know that you can include static blocks using e.g.:

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="static-block-id" }}

That block simply uses _toHtml() to output the content from the static block.

protected function _toHtml()
{
    $blockId = $this->getBlockId();
    ...
    return $html;
}

Similarly, you could try and populate the _toHtml() function with HTML in your module to output what ever you need to output. You cannot use PHP variables such as $order to pass in your data for processing.
