Now I am confused by the use of the word *before*: you write 

   Tassilo> It does for me, but this variable must be set to t *before* reftex 
is
   Tassilo> loaded.  Does that solve the issue?

But also

   Tassilo> Then it depends on what's before your `custom-set-variables' form in
   Tassilo> your ~/.emacs.  If there's (require 'reftex) or something else which

So how is the order? First load reftex then set the variable (as I would
expect it to be the case) or the other way around? That concerns normal
setting via setq.

I really never understood the idea of defcustom, that is how does it
control to load the required libraries at the right moment.

I also don't understand that if I am in auctex buffer with reftex
enabled, the variable is set to t, but no binding and reseting reftex
does not help neither.
