Unfortunately, I've never found it possible to pass a macro with a parameter inside another widget . You need to wrap it in a wrapper so the parameter is hidden. This worked for me, but I don't have your test data, or know how you're planning to use the results:
\define baseElem() <$macrocall $name=getElementID basename=$(basename)$/> <$set name="basename" value={{$:/isms/tmp/NewISMSElement!!name_base}}> <$set name="elementID" value=<<baseElem>> > </$set></$set> Good luck!
