Hi Achim,
I think I understand now.

(defn create-a [firstName lastName]
(defn getFirstName [] firstName)
(defn getLastName [] lastName)
(fn [operator & operands]
(apply operator operands)))
(def t (create-a "Kurt" "Z"))
(def r (create-a "Bob" "hope"))
(t getFirstName)
--> returns "Bob" instead of "Kurt"
And this is the case because despite where defn is declared, it is a
top level definition in the current name space. Thus calling "def r"
above redefines getFirstName and getLastName.
Thanks for clearing this up.
