I'm having a senior moment here.

I've got code of this form in my Preferences.el (aquamacs-speak for .emacs):

(defvar fas/org-some-variable
  (/ 10 (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority))))

But org-lowest-priority & org-highest-priority aren't defined at that
point in Preferences.el.  I need to defer the calculation till org is
running.

It's embarrassing, but it's not coming to me.

Can someone help me out?
Cheers.

Do this

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'org) ;; note this
(defvar fas/org-some-variable
  (/ 10 (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority))))
#+end_src

or 

this 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(eval-after-load 'org
  (defvar fas/org-some-variable ;; replace defvar with setq, maybe?
    (/ 10 (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority)))))

#+end_src

Just re-check whether you have got your math right. It looks suspicious
to me.

You just need to defer it until org is loaded: just put it after the
(require 'org-install). If you are depending on an autoloaded function
to be called in order to load org, you can just (require 'org) at some
place in Preferences.el and put the defvar after it. Or you can
initialize it in a hook - org-load-hook is the one to use here:

(add-to-list 'org-load-hook 
             (function 
               (lambda ()
                (setq  fas/org-some-variable
                       (/ 10 (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority)))))))

Yes, the math is wrong; I knew that.
Thanks for the hint.
Cheers.

I must be a moron.  But I'm still having problems.
Here's what's in my Preferences.el:

....
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode)) ; use it for *.org.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)             ; font lock on
always.

(defvar fas/org-priority-scale
  (/ (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority)) 10))
....

When I start aquamacs, I get an error that org-lowest-priority is not
defined.

Help?

Cheers.

Nope, the fault is mine: org-install just sets up autoloads, so you have to
require 'org, or set up the hook or do the eval-after-load as Jambunathan
suggested.

Right.  I got it with the org-load-hook thing.  Thanks, and apologies.
