I can properly use a define
def <command> <parameter-text>{<replacement-text>}
if it is define in the same LaTeX file, which is not the main file, but let's say, it is named 2.intro.tex which is included with input{section/2.intro}.
However, if I put the define in the main.tex of even in another file which in included before 2.intro, it does not work. When compiling, it says
! Undefined control sequence.
Any help on how to solve this problem?

usepackage{lipsum}

You want the definition outside the group so
