I find this fascinating, because the user who asked this question on -user-fr 
yesterday also thought the documentation was wrong. But it's not! Or I haven't 
seen a proof yet.

There is nothing contradicting the reality in the structure sketch you wrote 
above. You just have to understand that lilypon makes a distinction between 
assignments, which don't have a value but execute an action, and values. The 
"..." in this code are placeholders for values, not for other things. Does it 
surprise you that you cannot write

```
music = \relative c'' {
  var = { c d e }
  \var \var
}
```

but instead must write

```
var = { c d e }

music = \relative c'' {
  \var \var
}
```

? 

If not, I'm not exactly sure why it is surprising to you, although I see that 
it's not surprising just to you, that

```
\bookpart {
  var = { c' }
  \score { \var }
}
```

does not work, but

```
var = { c' }
\bookpart {
  \score { \var }
}
```

does.

Instead of

```
% movement1.ly
variable = \relative c'' { ... }
\bookpart { \score { \variable } }

% movement2.ly
variableII = \relative c'' { ... }
\bookpart { \score { \variableII } }

% main.ly
% \book { % whoops, does not work
\include "movement1.ly"
\include "movement2.ly"
% }
```

use:

```
% movement1.ly
variable = \relative c'' { ... }
bookpartI = \bookpart { \score { \variable } }

% movement2.ly
variableII = \relative c'' { ... }
bookpartII = \bookpart { \score { \variableII } }

% main.ly
\include "movement1.ly"
\include "movement2.ly"
\book {
  \bookpart { \bookpartI }
  \bookpart { \bookpartII }
}
```
