in the upcoming tox-1.4 version there is support for referencing 
values across sections, see:

    http://tox.testrun.org/latest/config.html#substition-for-values-from-other-sections
    

You can install the current candidate with

    pip install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U tox

if you want to try use this feature.

best,
