I guess I would need a syntax that would make sense.  Remember you can do

sandbox -X -i ~/.mozilla -i ~/.gnome ...

I guess you could use some syntax where the we had a separator, that
showed the destination directory

sandbox -X -i ~/.sandbox/ffftemplate1/.mozilla:~/.mozilla

But the separator would need to be something not likely to be in a file
system.
