Thanks, Mario, for your response. I actually figured it out myself before checking back with GG. The trick was to put the import pragma *inside* the parent macro before calling the helper macro. I've not previously encountered a pragma command that didn't go at the top of the tiddler. That, needless to say, doesn't work for \import in this use case.
This trick is going to be very useful. I won't have to pollute the macro/variable namespace with helper macro names. Please feel free to close this topic. (GG won't let me as I created the topic.)
