No, because by design declare-function only has an effect when being
_compiled_, and you're not compiling the code in the included file.
(At least, I think that explains it.)

That looks ugly to me, and could break loading of the non-compiled
code. Why not just put your declare-function statements in the right
file? Though I guess the whole point of this is that you don't want
to. Or live with the warnings.
