Can anyone explain what I am misunderstanding about scope such that

julia> function foo()
           foo2(x) = println(x)
           foo2(1); eval(parse("foo2(2)"));
       end
foo (generic function with 1 method)


julia> foo()
1
ERROR: foo2 not defined
 in foo at none:3

is not the same as 

julia> function foo()
           foo2(x) = println(x)
           foo2(1); foo2(2);
       end
foo (generic function with 1 method)


julia> foo()
1
2

given, of course, that

julia> foo2(x) = println(x)
foo2 (generic function with 1 method)


julia> eval(parse("foo2(1)"))
1
