relative mode quandary with example

[chip]

I am using relative mode to enter notes, and have defined a variable to 
hold a phrase, which contains one ' mark on the first note. When I call 
that variable in the piece multiple times consequitively, it is raised 
an octave each time because of the ' mark. I can't add a , to the last 
note becuase that will lower the last note an octave too low. Is there a 
way to work around this or should I use absolute mode?
The code in question is copied below.
Thanks

The code in question -

interTwo = \notes {
                r8 r16 fis' fis4 r gis
                ais4 r8 ais gis4 ais
                }
