Don't know, but the bottom of my aclocal.m4 file has something like 
this and it seems to work and survive 'aclocal' invocations:

m4_include([m4/libtool.m4])
m4_include([m4/ltoptions.m4])
m4_include([m4/ltsugar.m4])
m4_include([m4/ltversion.m4])
m4_include([acinclude.m4])

Naturally, the associated m4 files need to be in the 'm4' 
subdirectory.

It helps to have

# Specify directory where m4 macros may be found.
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])

toward the top of your configure.ac script.
