Re: [O] Babel: How to call code in one org file into another org file

[Lawrence Bottorff]

Doing M-x org-babel-lob-files called up a customization buffer that allowed me to put in many separate file paths. I did this for ../a.org and ../b.org.

a.org:

#+name: myadd

#+begin_src lisp :session

(defun myadd (x y)

  (+ x y))

#+end_src

b.org:

#+name: multi_x2

#+begin_src lisp :session

(defun multi_x2 (x)

  (* 2 x))

#+end_src

then in c.org:

#+name: add&multi_x2

#+begin_src lisp :session

(defun add&multi_x2 (x y)

  (multi_x2 (myadd x y)))

#+end_src

but upon C-c C-c in c.org SLIME didn't know about myadd or multi_x2 ... until I did C-c C-c in both a.org and b.org for the respective functions. Then c.org's add&multi_x2 knew about the helper functions. That is wonderful and allows a very distributed and modular approach to org-mode LP for Lisp. However, it would be nice if I didn't have to acquaint my SLIME session by hand all of my ingested babel-lob files. Any way to have this happen automatically upon C-c C-c-ing my main org file? I found this discussion, but I don't believe it really addresses my wish.

Any Org mode file can function as Library of Babel.  In your case,
(org-babel-lob-ingest path/to/file1.org) should do what you want.  Note
that org-babel-lob-ingest is bound to C-c C-v i.
