You can put mapped CCs into building blocks but the links won't work unless the linked xml fields exist in the document where they are placed. For this reason it is better to use CCs linked to built-in doc property fields (although you run out of fields pretty quickly).
Re-reading the original question, I assumed, perhaps mistakenly, because of the building blocks in the title and post that we were talking about building blocks for multiple documents.

If one template: Here is my guide to Repeating Data Using Document Properties Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls.

Another resource: Create a Form Using Word Content Controls by Greg Maxey, MVP

If I am using mapped controls outside the built-in document property ones, I use one of the tools you linked. I keep both of them loaded on my system.
