Try 

M-x org-babel-lob-ingest RET org/worg/library-of-babel.org RET

Don't be a jester, be an ingester. ;-)

See (info"(org) Evaluating code blocks")

The proper idiom is

	#+call: write(file="jsontest")

Of course, there needs to be a proper 'write' src block in the file you ingested, etc.

Is this *verbatim* ? Did you cut and paste everything (including the trailing `2') all at once? If so, I do not get it.

I would have expected

#+RESULTS:
: myelsquare

 which is the correct behavior.

To see why put point in the myelsquare src block and type C-c C-v v

then move point to the end of the 'preview' buffer and type C-x C-e.

Look at the value echo-ed in the minibuffer.

If it still isn't clear maybe `M-x (symbol-function 'myelsquare)' will help. 

HTH,

Chuck
