Well, what about Plato's dialogues that embed the main discussion as an 
anecdote of another discussion?  Sometimes it was even twice removed.  I 
believe this has a similar upshot to Derrida's self-referential schtick, 
especially if we are as mindful of the flexibility of texts as Jacques-D 
encourages us to be.
