No, I get the same if I put the two lines in mydefs[1].  When I wrote
the mail I'd put the def in the main file just after the SysIncludes.
The difference is that doc reads mydefs before it has exported all
those Setup symbols.  So you would have to supply the complete
nesting chain when defining it in mydefs:

import/export @BasicSetup @DocumentSetup @OrdinarySetup @Text @Section
  def @Charm body x { @SubSection { x } }

Scoping in Lout is kind of complex and weird.  I'm not sure whether
this is the right approach.  Just trial'n'error...

Ciao, ET.

[1] I never used mydefs before.
