I usually use attributes for that. For example let us assume you have a
suite of apps to confine.
In that case you could assign an attribute mysuite_domains to each
domain type.
Then you can write the policy that all of the apps in your suite have in
common using the mysuite_domains attirbute instead of the individual types.
You can find some examples in my policy repository:
git://84.245.6.206/selinux-modules.git
And in particular the telepathy.te file.
