I've seen this question around e.g. stack overflow, but none of the
answers I found seems really satisfactory.

I'd like to share a set of begin_src / end_src blocks in a.org between
b.org and c.org; in particular b.org and c.org contain noweb references
to names defined in a.org. Is there a better way than using
(org-babel-lob-ingest "a.org")? This seems a bit clunky, requiring
manual action every time a.org changes.

For example, here is a.org

#+name: x.scm
#+begin_src scheme
(define x 1)
#+end_src

#+name: y.scm
#+begin_src scheme
(define y 2)
#+end_src

and here is b.org. You can imagine c is similar, but maybe swaps the
order of x and y

#+begin_src scheme :tangle "b.scm" :noweb strip-export
<<x.scm>>
<<y.scm>>
#+end_src

# Local Variables:
# eval: (org-babel-lob-ingest "a.org")
# End:

Put 

#+include: ./a./org

directives in b.org and c.org

You might want to put the directives inside a non-exported drawer. See `org-export-with-drawers’  docstring.

This works fine (modulo the extra /) for exporting, but doesn't seem to
work for tangling. Does it work for tangling for you; i.e. is b.scm
produced with the two defines in it?

Right. It does not work directly for tangling. So also use 

#+export_file_name: b2.org

(say)

Then load ox-ob.el, export as C-c C-e O o (org-org-export-to-org),  visit b2.org and tangle from there. 

HTH,

Chuck

load ox-org.el, rather.

I finally got around to trying this. In a broad sense it works, but
(at least with default settings) it loses the keywords on individual
source blocks.

if a.org looks like

#+include: c.org
#+export_file_name: foo.org
#+begin_src python :tangle foo.py :noweb true
<<test.py>>
    def hello():
        test()
#+end_src

then foo.org looks like

# Created 2020-04-04 Sat 15:03
#+TITLE: 
#+AUTHOR: David Bremner
#+name test.py
#+begin_src python
  def test:
      print("test")
#+end_src
#+export_file_name: foo.org
#+begin_src python
  <<test.py>>
      def hello():
          test()
#+end_src

Since my org files all tangle to multiple source files, this doesn't
really work for me.  I guess I could have a single wrapper file for each
file I want to tangle to, but I have other keywords e.g. :shebang, whose
loss will still break things.

I see.

It looks like you are back to `org-babel-lob-ingest'.

Maybe the issue you raised at the start of having to re-ingest after changes could be addressed by a function in `org-babel-pre-tangle-hook'.

HTH,

Chuck

Thanks for the suggestion. I wrote up my solution at

       http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/tangle-multi/

It doesn't really seem robust enough to be included in org-mode (even if
rewritten to remove the use of a hook), but it gets the job done for me.
