You could use two global signal variables to pass the signal to the
reverb instrument.  You apply the balance to these two signals from 
the generating instrument in the same way that it is being done for
it's 'dry' output.  This way, multiple instances of multiple instruments
may have their own 'wet' balance which would match (or not match) their
dry component.

I often take this a step further, and use no 'out' statement in any
instrument other than the global reverb instrument.  This has the
advantage
that all mixes of wet and dry can be handled by a single variable in the
global instrument, but has the disadvantage of losing individual
control.  
This is a good thing when all of the instruments are working together 
in order to produce homegeneous events that comprise a single sound
entity.
