If you specify only one optional argument of \placefloat, then
leftmost in the list is assumed, i.e. the location. To get around
this, either specify a location or add empty brackets if you’re
content with the default:

    \define[2]\dincludefigure{%
      \placefigure[][fig:#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=10cm]}%
    }%
