For the documentation of software quality I have huge org documents with a lot of tables which tend to repeat themselves since I have to document the same parameters in different environments. To prevent having to go through a lot of lines and files every time I add a parameter to be documented or change anything else on the table for that matter. I would like to export it to an org file and have it put the included files in that file. And while I realy don't get why org-export-as-org does not do this. I am sure implementing this does not need to break established api. It could very well be added as a seperate function. If this needs any more clarification I will contribute every information I can. Also I understand that there is not much motivation to implement this since nobody besides me seems to mind the absence of the functionality. Thank you, Henry
