Insert a block in order email confirmation template

I would like to insert a .phtml template block which contains some custom parameters associated to the order in the template structure of the order email confirmation sent to the customer. I have tried introducing this in the corrsponding layout:

<sales_email_order_items>
<reference name="items">
<action method="unsetChildren"></action>
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="email.order" translate="label">
<block type="email/order" name="email.order" template="custom/order.phtml" />
</block>
</reference>
</sales_email_order_items>

But, no way... any clue?

You can call any block in directly in email template like this: 

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="newsletter_header"}}

Instead of modifying the default coding, just add the custom variable in the email template, Locate the template in the following path,

Admin > System > transactional emails->Your_Template

Under ‘Template Information, enter a new variable name (very important to id your new email from the default one) and save the template.
