I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org-exp)
(require 'org-atom)
(require 'org-exp-bibtex)
(require 'org-latex)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

before any customisations.

By the way, for the types of customisation you are doing above
(obviously, I don't know what you have omitted), I find it easier to
define an org template that has the appropriate #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS
and #+LATEX_HEADER lines.
