The problem with verbatim ... etex is that you somehow "preprocess it" or I don't know what you do with it. So if one writes
it's normally expanded, but with regards to passing environments, there is hardly any expansion involved; also, when i set it from within context, i can use the same mechanisms as with the normal mp run; let's worry about that later
\def\GnuplotPoint#1{...} into verbatimtex it results in something like \def \GnuplotPoint ##1 {}, of you write \let\GnuplotPoint\relax, it results in \let \relax. \input works because it has some luck that it doesn't get modified during preprocessing.
best put such defs in a separate environment, and then say \input thatfile ; this avoids the expansion and hash duplication
set terminal mp verbatimtex "..." set terminal context environment "..."
I already did that, but as I mentioned above - it crashed ...
But in any case: global metapost environment works perfectly!!! (header would still be useful, but for graphics for inclusion the setting can be done in the main document and for standalone graphics one can temporary edit it manually, but I'll try to fix).
