Hi Iwan,
Something like this should work. (I cobbled this example together 
w/copy & paste; please excuse any errors):

import spyceCmd
import spyce
import spycePreload

def ExecuteSpyce(SpyceConfigModule, ScriptName, parameters, 
OutputFileName):
     sig = ','.join(parameters.keys())

     f = file(OutputFileName, "w")

     request = spyceCmd.spyceCmdlineRequest(sys.stdin, os.environ, 
ScriptName)
     response = spyceCmd.spyceCmdlineResponse(f, sys.stderr, False)
     # The magic incantation to invoke the spyceFileHandler comes from 
here:
     # http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13964368
     spyce.spyceFileHandler(request, response, ScriptName, sig=sig, 
kwargs=parameters, config=SpyceConfigModule)
     response.close()

     f.close()

SpyceConfigModule = 
spycePreload.getConfigModule(spycePreload.defaultConfigFile())

ExecuteSpyce(SpyceConfigModule, "child.spy", { }, "child.html")

params = { "FilenameToInclude" : "child.html" }
ExecuteSpyce(SpyceConfigModule, "parent.spy", params, "parent.html")
