I agree here - I also see tangling as just a different export backend.
I must say I like the idea of having #+INCLUDE expanded before export,
as it would make using code libraries much easier. But one could even
go one step further: not only include the complete file, but only a
named source block - that would be perfect.
Just wondering - wouldn't it be possible, to just put the function
org-export-expand-include-keyword into the pre-tangle-hook?
Cheers,
Rainer
