You could test the patch here:

I think it introduces something close to what you are looking for.

> #+BEGIN_SRC org
> #+INCLUDE: "./base.org" :headline "First base chapter"
> ,* A more personal chapter
> #+INCLUDE: "./base.org" :headline "Second base chapter"
> ,* Another personal chapter
> #+END_SRC

You'd be able to do

* first chapter
  Note how we're renaming /first base chapter/ on the fly.
* In this book /first base chapter/ is my second chapter
#+INCLUDE: "./base.org::*First base chapter" :only-contents t

Of course, you can also include other named objects such as tables and
probably code blocks.
