Ok - then I know why I haven't realised this before: I mover the variable 
definition from a header
argument to the #+PROPERTY: as I need the variable throughout the document.

Would work - but as I said above, I would have preferred to have the variable 
defined at the top
of the buffer. I could use though the no-expand header argument for the source 
blocks. At the moment,

I am putting them in a subtree and set the property for the subtree.

Thanks,

Rainer
