The fine manual talks about something similar in 29.3. User-Defined
Variables in Example 3.17. Using user-defined variables for config file
readability:

set my_cfgdir = $HOME/mutt/config

source $my_cfgdir/hooks
source $my_cfgdir/macros
# more source commands...

Before adding something new it would be interesting why this is not
