Org-mode is built into Emacs, so there will be an Org-mode in the load
path from the moment Emacs starts.  This is not a problem in and of
itself.

The important thing is to put the path to the Org-mode you want to use
on the front of the load path (either with the command line flag above
or with an `add-to-list' in your config) *before* the first time
Org-mode is required with a (require 'org).  That should be sufficient.
