The actual problem is that the notes are encapsulated in different Voice expressions and therefore can't be connected by spanners such as slurs or \< \! etc. When you write c' << { d'' } // { d' } >> c' LilyPond creates two temporary voices for the d-s (and make them \voiceOne and \voiceTwo implicitly), while the original voice is suspended during the polyphonic section. In order to connect notes from inside the polyphonic section to the outside you'd write c' << { \voiceOne d'' } \new Voice { \voiceTwo d' } >> \oneVoice c' This way the main voice is continued through c' d'' c' while only the d' is wrapped in an implicit temporary voice. With this information you should be able to disentangle your example. Actually I would really not create temporary polyphony for each measure as this makes things *very* complicated. But of course this may be related to your real-world example.
