I can confirm that, just had a chat at RDF4JUsers
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/rdf4j-users/p-uqdjgGMHs>
where I was told that:
"In terms of getting the query to parse, why not just reorder the
BIND() to the front of the group? This is what blazegraph is doing
internally. "
So you guessed right (and we are going to treat those queries the same way).
Thanks and greetings,

understand why (and how) this
query:
SELECT DISTINCT ?item

query.wikidata.org.
Probably Blazegraph engine considers it
analogous with the query having
the bind in front, or maybe optimization reorders it.
At the moment we are parsing them using OpenRDF,
which fails (as far
as I can see understandably) at parsing this query.
Well, the standard does say you can not use a variable in BIND that was
previously used, and I guess OpenRDF parser chooses to be more strict
than Blazegraph.
