No, but this is rather pointless, anyway, as the namelist would not be visib
le
to anything in the program.

You could put the namelist in an include file.  The COMMON declaration (and
the declarations of any common variables) should also be in an include file,
so that it is the same everywhere it is used.  the BLOCK DATA should include
the common def and then add the DATA.
