No and yes.

'No' in the sense that I use (and have used for at least a couple of
years) Fabrice Niessen's 'try-require' function
(http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/dot-emacs.html) for loading things in my
.emacs.  If the thing to be loaded is missing the error is caught and
logged to *Messages*.  Loading in this way fails in a subtle way, since
the funtion 'org-twiki-export-as-twiki' is known, but broken.

'Yes' in the sense that if I just open the file 'ox-twiki.el' and
evaluate the buffer, exporting works fine.

I'll open a new thread on the topic of how to require packages which may
be missing. 

Cheers,

Loris
