at some point we decided to make \define generate an unexpandable 
command (which is what one wants in most cases)

so, it's just the \define command (and in your case you could as well 
use \def but it's then best to use \ImagePath as one never knows if 
\imagepath isn't some internal command

(of course you can also use \setupexternfigures)
