If you want to better control where your org path end up in load-path,
then you can use one of several hooks, e.g., following delays updating
load-path till almost the very end of emacs startup process
emacs --eval "(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook (lambda () (add-to-list
'load-path \"/path/to/org\")) 100)"
See [[info:elisp#Startup Summary]] for emacs startup details.
