'define' is not an assignment. If there is a define in a module, that is the definition - any
other definition is not visible.

Now in some cases if you try to reference a definition before it has been given a value,
you might get an error or some kind of null/undefined value. However, it this particular
case it seems to work.

If you want the sort of dynamic definition you're expecting,
you can try define-variable.
