I'm either misreading what you wrote, or it's wrong.  If I have this in 
a Sweave file:

<<>>=
x <- 1
@

<<>>=
y <- 2
@

<<>>=
print(x)
@

I will see the value of x getting printed, even though it came from two 
chunks earlier.

I think Uwe is right:  there is some bug in the code you're running. 
Sweave isn't the problem.
