All of the solutions seemed bulky for my purposes, though I'm trying to do basically the same thing. Here is a ruby script I wrote that does precious little - evaluates Haml with the option to stick in = partial "test.haml" anywhere you like. It does a trivial amount of logic to try and find a partial file.

require 'haml'

def find filename
  return filename if File.exists? filename
  path = File.dirname ARGV[0]
  filename = path+"/"+filename
  return filename if File.exists? filename
  throw "Could not find file."
end

def partial filename
  source = File.read(find(filename))
  engine = Haml::Engine.new(source)
  engine.render(binding)
end

puts partial ARGV[0]

you execute it like so : ruby hamlize.rb input.haml > output.html
