No and yes. 'No' in the sense that I use (and have used for at least a couple of years) Fabrice Niessen's 'try-require' function (http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/dot-emacs.html) for loading things in my .emacs. If the thing to be loaded is missing the error is caught and logged to *Messages*. Loading in this way fails in a subtle way, since the funtion 'org-twiki-export-as-twiki' is known, but broken. 'Yes' in the sense that if I just open the file 'ox-twiki.el' and evaluate the buffer, exporting works fine. I'll open a new thread on the topic of how to require packages which may be missing.
