Meteor: Collection not defined in publish

I've got a fairly simple Meteor app with:

lib/collections.js

var Meetings = new Meteor.Collection('meetings');

and server/publications.js:

Meteor.publish("meetings", function () {
  return Meetings.find({"participants":this.userId});
});

This was working, I think, but now sometimes I get:

Exception from sub vvpqwiujATG49puAc ReferenceError: Meetings is not defined
at [object Object]._handler (app/server/publications.js:2:10)

I feel like this is an order of operations problem but my understanding is that lib/ should always run first?

I'll award you partial credit for getting the collection defined under lib so it will be loaded before the publisher, however in order for the Meetings variable to be visible between files it will need to be declared globally. Remove the var before Meetings and you should be all set.
