>From the Chicken FAQ: "Macro bodies that are defined and used in a
compiled source-file are evaluated during compilation and so have no
access to definitions in the compiled file. Note also that during
compile-time macros are only available in the same source file in
which they are defined. Files included via include  are considered
part of the containing file."

Worth reading, the Macros section of the FAQ has many more specifics
about macros and compiled code.
