OK, thanks.
So... some more question.
I think that I will call it from existing GMF templates... but need help 
for that too

I looked there 
http://www.openarchitectureware.org/pub/documentation/4.1/r20_xPandReference.pdf

and find that we can call an other definition in an other template file 
if we specified the name of the template...
ÂEXPAND my::templates::TemplateFile::definitionName
FOR myModelElementÂ

So I try various things and I have some questions :
Where do I start the path? (my??)
What is the myModelElement? (gmfgen::GenCustomPropertyTab??)

info :
templates
  -xpt
    -propsheet
       - existingTemplate.xpt where I put the EXPAND instruction [1]
       - newTemplate.xpt with [2]


I thought it is something like that but it's seems not...

[1]
[...]
ÂEXPAND xpt::propsheet::newTemplate::Class
FOR gmfgen::GenCustomPropertyTabÂ
[...]

[2]
[...]
ÂDEFINE Class FOR gmfgen::GenCustomPropertyTabÂ
	//what i want to generate
ÂENDDEFINEÂ
