Ok, I think it's because you are using [% INCLUDE ablock %] rather than just [% ablock %].
From:
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Directives.html
A Macro doesn't appear to use the INCLUDE.

Hi John,
I probably shouldn't post on this as I haven't tried what you
mentioned. However, have you tried adding an "| eval" to the
blockdata variable retrieve? My guess is that you are just getting
the non-processed block you specified in the perl code above. (Let
us know what you mean by "doesn't work" if it's not it.) :)
testblock.tt:
[% MACRO ablock BLOCK %]
[% blockdata | eval %]
[% END %]
[% INCLUDE ablock %]
As an alternative you might try the following, which I have also not
tested, and am not sure will even work, but am just providing as
something you can try. I've never tried two procesess, in a row, and
am not sure whether they will have the same context or not, but if
it worked, it'd be a simpler solution.
=================================================
perl code:
use strict;
use Template;
my $block = <
[% BLOCK ablock %]
----------------------------------------------
Hello, [% name %]
----------------------------------------------
[% END %]
BLOCK
my $tt = Template->new() or die;
my $ttData =
{
blockdata => $block,
name => 'John'
};
my $result;
$tt->process(\$block, $ttData, \$result) or die;
$tt->process("testblock.tt", $ttData) or die;
testblock.tt:
[% INCLUDE ablock %]
