Right!

OK, but that shouldn't be a problem either: if there is no #+MACRO in an
"Include" file, that doesn't matter...

You say that the order of operations, during export, is:
- Include files through "INCLUDE" keywords
- Expand macros
OK. Still, I don't understand what you mean by "so MACRO keywords should
be read when appropriate"?
Anyway, let me explain what I wish such a feature (_or_ the opposite:
that Babel blocks are allowed in SETUPFILE)...
I'm sharing on GitHub a project [1] where I write Org macros that
everybody could once need, and these are easily accessible (once cloned)
in every file, after a simple directive such as:
#+INCLUDE: /path/to/org-macros.setup
As I do have Babel code blocks inside the `org-macros.setup' file, it
needs to be loaded via the "INCLUDE" directive, not via a "SETUPFILE".
Example of such macro calling a Babel code block:
╭────
│ #+name: version-history
│ #+begin_src sh :exports none :results silent :colnames '(Version Date
Author Comment)
│ git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%ad%x09%an%x09%s" --date=short | head -n 5
│ #+end_src
│
│ #+MACRO: version-history call_version-history[:eval yes]()[:eval yes
:results table :colnames '(Version Date Author Comment)]
╰────
So, thanks to the INCLUDE directive, I already have a one-liner to
include such "extended macros". But these aren't collected by
`org-macro--collect-macros'...
Best regards,
Fabrice
