With CNC machines you can use variables and cycles within the g code to define the tool path.

Can these concepts be transferred to G code that is used in the Reprap set up ??

Any help is appreciated ?/

Have a look through the documentation for the firmware you want to use. The most popular are Marlin and Repetier. The Marlin github Readme contains a list of the Gcodes it supports and which variables they except. I believe Repetier has a similar list.
