I think the sentence would still be at best ambiguous, and perhaps somewhat
inaccurate. I can think of objections to "defined by a procedure", "calls a
procedure", "run", "when expanding", and "specifically" (since this is only one
relevant use case). I would suggest instead something like:

    For example, if a macro transformer procedure
    calls a procedure from another library, then the latter library must
    be instantiated before expanding any use of the macro.
