Yeah, I didn't really know... was just going by this recent post which
featured that, so since it was fresh in my mind, I tried:
- http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg68321.html

Sure. Try this:

#+begin_src setupfile

#+AUTHOR:    John Henderson
#+latex_header: \usepackage[hmargin=2.5cm,vmargin=2.5cm]{geometry}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{mathpazo}

#+end_src


#+begin_src test-setupfile.org

#+include: "/path/to/setupfile"

* Heading 1

Some text in the form of a longer paragraph to test the margin
settings using the
=geometry= package. Some text in the form of a longer paragraph to
test the margin settings using the
=geometry= package. Some text in the form of a longer paragraph to
test the margin settings using the
=geometry= package.

List:

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

#+end_src


#+begin_src minimal-config

;; set load paths
;; set load dirs and global config options
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/")

(require 'ox-latex)

#+end_src


Procedure:
- emacs -Q
- M-x load-file minimal-config
- C-x C-f setupfile-test.org
- Now compare the results of =C-c C-e l p= vs. (while on * Heading 1)
=C-c C-e C-s l p=.

John
