#+INCLUDE causes error when it attmepts to expand a LaTeX macro in source block

Greetings,

In my init file I have

(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

File "A" is attached as an org file. I evaluate the source blocks (C-c 
C-v s), the table is generated and then I export it to PDF. The source 
blocks do not evaluate during export.

In file B I have

#+INCLUDE: "/path/to/FileA::*SCHEDULE A1112"

When I attempt to export File B to PDF/LaTeX the following error occurs

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Undefined Org macro: cmhfill; 
aborting")
   signal(error ("Undefined Org macro: cmhfill; aborting"))
   error("Undefined Org macro: %s; aborting" "cmhfill")

If I place a "#+HEADER: :eval no" in the source blocks in File A (after 
generating the table) File B will export the table to PDF. Also, please 
note that the cmhfill macro is in the table headings.

Is this an error, i.e. the #+INCLUDE does not honor the setting in my 
init file?

Is there a header or property setting for File B to prevent the exporter 
from evaluating the source blocks when executing through an #+INCLUDE, 
more particularly to prevent the attempted macro expansion within the 
source blocks?

Both File A and File B had identical LaTeX settings, i.e. the macro was 
defined in both files.

This is totally unrelated to inclusion, see below.

This is the problem, IMO.

Generally speaking, INCLUDE does not honor any Babel related setting
because inclusion happens before almost anything else (e.g., Babel)
during the export process.

But I don't think this is related to your issue.

Org does not expand within source blocks. It tried to expand macro in
your table header, but cannot find the macro definitions.

Where is it defined? I cannot see it.
