#+INCLUDE: in a #+MACRO:

I'm trying to create a macro like this:

#+MACRO: contactme #+INCLUDE: "./chunks/contactme.org"

This would enable me to construct a website in a modular way.

(The second level of abstraction, i.e. not using a direct include, would
make maintaining the website much easier because if I rearrange the site I
only have to worry about the macro reference.)

I can't get it to work however. Is there a way to do this?

The execution order for the steps done on the buffer being exported is:

...
2. Include files through `#+INCLUDE:' keywords
3. Expand macros
...

So, I don't think that's possible -- at least no without changing the function
`org-export-as'.

Best regards,
