Thank you very much.

That's why it is sucky ;) Yes. Have a look at how some other modes deal with it, often you can get away with only a few mentions of eval-when-compile or eval-and- compile. One way to do it is to put all the functions used in macros into a separate file and then load that file inside eval-when-compile.
