You just need to defer it until org is loaded: just put it after the
(require 'org-install). If you are depending on an autoloaded function
to be called in order to load org, you can just (require 'org) at some
place in Preferences.el and put the defvar after it. Or you can
initialize it in a hook - org-load-hook is the one to use here:

(add-to-list 'org-load-hook 
             (function 
               (lambda ()
                (setq  fas/org-some-variable
                       (/ 10 (* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority org-highest-priority)))))))
