It's in the FAQ (section 8.1):

   Another possible cause of DJGPP variable not being set is that you invoke
   another batch file from your `AUTOEXEC.BAT' before the line that sets DJGPP.
   Make sure such batch files are invoked with the `CALL' statement, because
   otherwise the subsidiary batch file will never return to process the rest of
   `AUTOEXEC.BAT' (that's a "feature" of DOS batch file processing).
