First, you can have each package file define the package variable and
then the foreach loop would simply call the register-package function.

Alternatively, you can do the following:


OMakefile:
...
foreach(x, a b)
   echo loading  $x
   package. =
       include $x
   register-package($(package))
   echo
   export packages

a.om:
this.name = a

b.om:
this.name = b

Note: the explicit "this." is needed because the a.om/b.om files are
parsed without any knowledge of the fact that they are being included
from an object context.
