Hi Torsten,

I've been working successfully with your makefile idea.  Here is one  
that works for me:

--------------------------------------

#+begin_src R :noweb :session 135cultural
    <<r-load-libraries>>
    <<r-connect>>
    # run queries
    <<r-135-artifacts-wt-cultural>>
    <<r-135-artifacts-ct-cultural>>
    <<r-135-inverts-cultural>>
    <<r-135-verts-cultural>>
    # reshape query results and run PCA
    <<r-135-reshape>>
    <<r-135-merge>>
    <<r-135-prcomp>>
    # make biplots
    <<r-135-plot-pca-1-2-cultural>>
    <<r-135-plot-pca-2-3-cultural>>
    # segment plot
    <<r-135-stars-cultural>>
    # make tables for LaTeX
   # <<r-135-table-pca>>
    <<r-disconnect>>
#+end_src

-------------------------------------------------

A typical source block looks like this:

-------------------------------------------------

#+srcname: r-load-libraries
#+begin_src R
   library(RMySQL)
   library(reshape)
   library(xtable)
#+end_src

-------------------------------------------------

Note that I don't :tangle this, but use the :noweb feature, instead.   
Also, my "makefile" runs all its :noweb source blocks in a :session,  
where the environment set up by each source block can persist and be  
referenced by other source blocks.  This particular makefile has run  
successfully dozens of times, as I fix little things and add new ones.

I don't know if this is the best way to accomplish this, or if it is  
what you are trying to achieve at the moment.  But, it looks to me as  
if you might want to :noweb instead of :tangle and perhaps establish  
a :session in case your source blocks need to communicate with one  
another.

HTH,
Tom
