This is a nice and straightforward solution.  I remember that I did
something very similar a few years ago in order to use the preamble of
the main document within Metapost files.  For Metapost users this
technique is quite convenient because whenever they change the font in
the main document they don't have to adapt all the Metapost source files.

Thanks,
