I have seen that I can load a file (containing ConTeXt code) with
\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:texinclude
\writestatus{TEST HVDM}{file: \xmlatt{#1}{file}}
\xmlload{#1}{\xmlatt{#1}{file}}
\stopxmlsetups

But how to use these loaded data? I want them included in ConTeXt-processing like this but it doesn't work:
<texinclude file="filename"/>
<tex>
\useMPgraphic{xyz}{param=285}
</tex>
The <tex> node is just a wrapper around \xmlcontext{#1}{.}

Someone who can put me on the right track?

\xmlstripnolines{#1}{.} % need to strip sufficient space characters
\xmlcontext{#1}{.}
\stopxmlsetups

Since I need some MetaPost drawings repeatedly I thought to include those from a separate file:
<tex>
\input thedirectory/thefile
\useMPgraphic{lfsr}{stages=285}
</tex>

The file is read, but typeset as is, MetaPost processing does not occur. By the way, inserting the MetaPost code in place of the \input works ok.

I also tried \usemodule[thedirectory/thefile] instead, but then nearly everything MetaPost encounters is undefined.

Does someone know how to get the file inclusion right?
