This does not work for skeletons:

(define-skeleton blurb-head
  "aa"
  "test: "
  "test " str > n)

(define-skeleton head
  "Insert a standard header for C files"
  ""
  (comment-region 
   (point)
   blurb-head
   (point)))

M-x head 

gives

eval: Symbol's value as variable is void: blurb-head

Changing "head" to

(define-skeleton head
  "Insert a standard header for C files"
  ""
  (comment-region 
   (point)
   (blurb-head)
   (point)))

gives

eval: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
