Nah, I would consider those "running themes"... To "bookend" something means to begin with something and return to it at the end (these segments are usually balanced in terms of length). If Kevin's bookending VA5 with Dante and Randal, then we can expect brief segments featuring them at the beginning and the ending of the film. If, however, he's bookending the View Askewniverse films with Dante and Randal, we can expect them to figure prominently in the entire film (as they did in Clerks).
