I might be misunderstanding your question here, so bear(?) with me.

I think #+INCLUDE: "$FILE" should take care of what you want.
Basically, at export time, INCLUDE is expanded to the content of $FILE
in the buffer.  Footnotes should work.

Your structure should be something like:

> cat master.org
#+TITLE: my title
* intro
  Txt with footnotes
#+INCLUDE: "chapter1.org"

> cat chapter1.org
* chapter 1
  Txt with footnotes

To include something put "<I" at the beginning of the line and click
TAB.  This will make sure syntax is correct, (even if the above is
not).

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
