Not really. As noted in another branch of this thread, macros can be
nested, and the inner macro can have an argument. At least in practice,
if not in theory. :)

So {{{include-if(blah, {{{bold(happy)}}})}}} works just as well.

PS. There does seem to be a problem with using more than one argument in a
macro that is an argument to another macro, though. At least, I haven't
got it to work.
E.g., here's an example macro that generalizes your "bold" macro by
taking two arguments, a text and a string to mark it up with on both
sides.
#+MACRO: markup $2$1$2
{{{markup(italicized,/)}}}
results in /italicized/, i.e. the word "italicized" is exported in
italics. But
{{{include-if(blah, {{{markup(italicized,/)}}})}}}
only results in the word "italicized", without italics. So it seems only
the first argument is recognized.
It is fortunate that neither of these examples, "bold" or "markup", is
actually needed in Org...
