I finally managed to contrive two simple examples, one that works
here and one that doesn't.
The next code typeset with texexec --pdf with lines commented OUT
does work:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\usetypescript[luc]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]
\startMPenvironment
\usetypescript[luc]
\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment
\definecolor[gray][s=.825]
\definecolor[yellow][r=.625,g=.625]
\setupMPpage[offset=1pt,background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
\startuseMPgraphic{standalone}
draw (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,50)--(50,50)--(50,100)--(0,100)--(0,0);
label (textext("cornerstone"), (10,5)) rotated 45 withcolor
\MPcolor {yellow};
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
%%%%%%%%%%\startMPpage
\includeMPgraphic{standalone}
%%%%%%%%%%\stopMPpage
\stoptext
When I remove the %'s it does not work.
The first below is the wrong one, showing unknown, the second one
correctly shows the word cornerstone.
Is the conclusion correct that it could be something with \startMPpage?
no, with \includeMPgraphics not being expanded before testing on mptex runs:
\long\def\writecheckedMPgraphic#1%
{\ifforceMPTEXgraphic
\global\MPTEXgraphictrue
\else
\global\MPTEXgraphicfalse
\edef\ascii{#1}\convertcommand\ascii\to\MPascii
\the\MPTEXgraphicchecks\relax % \relax is end condition!
\fi
\flushMPTEXgraphic % verbatimtex etc
\writeMPgraphic{#1}}
\startuseMPgraphic{standalone}
draw textext("whatever") ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
% \forceMPTEXgraphictrue
\startMPcode
fill fullcircle scaled 2mm ; \includeMPgraphic{standalone}
\stopMPcode
\startMPcode
draw fullcircle scaled 2mm ; \includeMPgraphic{standalone}
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
one can always force tex runs with: \forceMPTEXgraphictrue
