Hello,

I would like to output several graphs in a Grid based on a single 
Manipulate. Each cell in the Grid shows a graph that is based on a Show 
structure. All graphs have the same "background" that is expressed 
similar to this in Show, with all VarX variable depending on Manipulate:

Show[
   Quiet@DensityPlot[HERE different functions, depending on the cell]
   ,Quiet@StreamPlot[
    {ExTotal[x, y, Var1,Var2], EyTotal[x, y, Var1,Var2]}
	, {x, -Var3, Var3}, {y, -Var3, Var3}
    ]
  , Graphics[{
	Rectangle[{-Var1, 0}, {Var1,30}]
	Rectangle[{-Var2, 0}, {Var2,30}]
    }]
]

Since I have many graphs, can I somehow gather the "background" part in 
a variable?:

BackgroundGraph={
   ,Quiet@StreamPlot[
    {ExTotal[x, y, Var1,Var2], EyTotal[x, y, Var1,Var2]}
	, {x, -Var3, Var3}, {y, -Var3, Var3}
    ]
  , Graphics[{
	Rectangle[{-Var1, 0}, {Var1,30}]
	Rectangle[{-Var2, 0}, {Var2,30}]
    }]
}

I would like to have something similar to:

Show[
   Quiet@DensityPlot[HERE different functions, depending on the cell]
   ,BackgroundGraph
]

where BackgroundGraph needs be edited only once for all graphs, but 
still updates depending on Manipulate?

I very often find myself willing to do that, but I am always blocked in 
my understanding of Mathematica's syntax.

Thanks for helping!
Mat
