I think that using this option, to include org files using the #INCLUDE and treat them as if they would be part of the original file would be a good solution, especially for literate programming - e.g. having often used code blocks in files, work with "org libraries", ... The only problem might be header properties defined at the beginning of the #+INCLUDEd file - they should probably be excluded from the inclusion. Nevertheless, that could probably be handled by an additional parameter to #+INCLUDE : #+INCLUDE externalORGfile.org :headers exclude where "exclude" is the default. Rainer > > 3.
