first, second, etc are macros in cl.el; nothing wrong with that.
However, there is a problem with the usage in the given template.
They are applied to processed-params, and that is not correct because
any variables in the block header are prepended to the list so first,
second, etc are wrong.  The template code should be rewritten.  The
better way to handle this appears to be

  (let ((vars (mapcar #'cdr (org-babel-get-header params :var))))
     ... )

I don't know, but believe it should always contain pairs as vars are required
to have values.  Caveat: I just started playing with this so could be very wrong.
