Even though this may further the confusion: "-l lisp" does not "put you into lisp", it only sets up the load-path so that "lisp" is in front. Now, when you say "-f ../mk/org-fixup", Emacs looks at each component of the load-path, bolts on the requested name, tries suffixes ".elc" and ".el" (and compressed files thereof) and takes the first one that succeeds. In this particular case, the successful expansion will be "lisp/../mk/org-fixup.el".
