Ah, that's something I understand...

The parser compiles the first expression:

  aNotes = \relative c' { c1 e g }

Now, to make sure that the expression is finished, it looks ahead a
bit. There it sees the beginning of a scheme expression

  #(if (not (defined? 'bNotes))
       (define bNotes aNotes))

This expression is then compiled and executed immedeately. Now the
parser completes handling the first expression. 
As a result, aNotes gets its value AFTER the scheme expression is
executed. Too late...
