Your code did the trick, thanks.
@Knute Snortum
Well, I think that the time is a property of the song section that I'm defining
in the variable, so it is more correct to define it in the variable itself.
Furthermore, if the variable defines one (as in the example) or more measures
that cointains a fixed number of beats, so the variable can't be used as part
of another measure with a yet unknown time but just as a song section with a
given time, it is more obvious to declare it in the variable definition since
this section can't use a different time.
Of course, I won't do it if there are no time changes within the song: here the
time is a song feature and will be declared in the song section.
What you think about it?

I know you say you don't want to have the time signatures outside of the
variables, but could you expand on why?
\version "2.18.0"
verse = { c2 c2 | c2 c2 | }
verseFirstEnd = { d2 d2 | }
verseSecondEnd = { c2 | }
\relative c'
{
\time 4/4
\verse
\verseFirstEnd
\verse
\time 2/4
\verseSecondEnd
\time 4/4
\verse
}
