There is no reason for one `ert-deftest` to make use of another, but was that the case here? I interpreted it as a test suite that spread its `ert-deftest` definitions over multiple .el files which isn't necessarily a bad way of organising them.

As said before, there is little sense in including the same individual tests from multiple 'root' .el files since that would run them more than once.

Perhaps that is what you meant? If so, please forgive me for the pedantry.
