Hi Giorgio,
I don't know of a way currently but I agree that it is desirable. It
does seem temtping to want to use #+INCLUDE for this purpose;
however #+INCLUDE is an /export/ construct, and tangling is not
(technically at least) an Org-mode export method. So some options that
come to my mind are:
1. I am overlooking an existing way of doing this.
2. Implement #+INCLUDE when tangling, optionally or by default.
3. Implement a general way of including blocks of code from other files
in such a way that they behave as 'normal' code blocks. This would
have several potentially useful consequences.
4. It seems that it should be possible to get what you want by first
using `org-export-as-org' followed by `org-babel-tangle'. However,
`org-export-as-org' doesn't currently include #+INCLUDE'd files. I
wonder if it should. A hack to do what you want is below (You'll be
prompted for a file name to save the Org export buffer to.):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun ded/org-export-as-org-to-buffer ()
(interactive)
(let* ((tmp-file (make-temp-file "org-tangle-with-include"))
(org-export-preprocess-after-include-files-hook
`((lambda () (let ((s (buffer-string)))
(with-temp-file ,tmp-file (insert s)))))))
(save-window-excursion (org-export-as-html-to-buffer nil))
(switch-to-buffer
(get-buffer-create "*Org Org Export*"))
(insert-file-contents tmp-file))
(org-mode))
(defun ded/tangle-with-include-files ()
(interactive)
(save-window-excursion
(ded/org-export-as-org-to-buffer)
(org-babel-tangle)))
#+end_src
