I might be missing something, but seems to me like you're just 
reinventing SSI. Have you looked at mod_include ? It would be much 
faster than having to bring php into the mix.

 <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/cart.cgi" -->

or

 <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?rm=runningtotal" -->

would be the SSI equivalents.

Or you could even do something like (although not necessarily C::A based)

  <!--#perl sub=Cart::runningtotal arg=foo arg=bar -->
