Well,

I personally like (dolist) a lot:

(require 'cl)
(dolist (el list)
   ;; do something with el
   (let ((buffer (car el))
         (alist  (cdr el)))     
    ;;
    ;; But then ...
    ;;
    )) 

I dont understand what you mean with 'contained alist' - but you might
need the assoc function.
