The DEFPACKAGE macro is meant to solve all those problems that arise
from putting single EXPORT etc. forms into source files. You have no
problem if you put the export clause into the DEFPACKAGE form.
The only ugliness is that you writes string containing the symbol names
in upper case.

---------------- export.lsp ----------------------------
(defpackage "GI" (:export "NAME"))
 
(defun gi:name ()
  (print "Some obscure function."))
---------------- export-compile.lsp --------------------
(defpackage "GI" (:export "NAME"))
 
(compile-file "export")
 
(quit)
---------------- snip snap -----------------------------
