As per documentation
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#User_Defined_Variables>:
Also, the variables are not available for use until after the element
has been processed, so *you cannot reference variables that are defined
in the same element*. You can reference variables defined in earlier
UDVs or on the Test Plan.
and
UDVs are processed in the order they appear in the Plan, *from top to
bottom*.
so if you want to reference an already defined variable you need to add
another UDV element below the "initial" one and it should start working.

I'm trying to setup a test with User Defined Variables.
I want to define a variable "ENV" that specifies whether the test will run
in the 'dev' environment, or not. (Basically, if set it will modify all of
the 'hosts' I hit with '-dev' on their hostnames.)
So I want to setup the following type of variables:
ENV = "-dev"
HOSTNAME = "myhost${ENV}"
Then when the test runs, if "ENV" = "-dev", the HOSTNAME would be
"myhost-dev", but if I change "ENV" to "" (null), the HOSTNAME would be
"myhost".
But the User Defined Variables apparently don't use previously set
variables in the config? Because what I am getting for "HOSTNAME" is
"myhost${ENV}"...
