Compilers: Passing constants between objects - my stupid error!

I decided to remove the hardware definitions to a seperate file called hwdef.spin
However, this failed and I am at a loss to understand why. The same happens on both PropTool and bst. The problem was the lack of parenthesis (see posts below).
This is a good solution to decouple some constants into a seperate definition file.
I have attached a sample program, but here is a summary...
The line term.str(serPins,8) outputs the expected value $00001E1F whereas term.str(hw#serPins,8) contains $00000000 indicating the constant has not been passed between objects.

If this is not intended to work, is there another way to decouple the hardware definitions ???

'hwdef.spin contains.... con rxPin = 31 'serial txPin = 30 baud = 115200 serPins = (_clkfreq / baud) << 16 | txPin << 8 | rxPin 'fixed: added parenthesis
'PassConst.spin contains...
con
rxPin = 31
txPin = 30
baud = 115200
serPins = txPin << 8 | rxPin
obj
hw : "_hwdef" 'hardware pin definitions etc
term : "FullDuplexSerial"
pub Main | err, p
waitcnt(clkfreq*2 + cnt)
'start standard output driver...
if term.start( rxPin, txPin, 0, baud )
waitcnt(clkfreq*2 + cnt)
term.tx(0)
term.str( string("========== PassConst ==========", 13) )
term.str( string(" serial @ pins ") )
term.hex( serPins, 8 )
term.str( string(13, " hwdef @ pins ") )
term.hex( hw#serPins, 8 )
term.tx( 13 )
The line term.str(serPins,8) outputs the expected value $00001E1F whereas term.str(hw#serPins,8) contains $00000000 indicating the constant has not been passed between objects.

Operator precedence is <<, | then /. Try this:
serPins = (_clkfreq / baud) << 16 | txPin << 8 | rxPin
and it will work. As it was, it was being interpreted as
serPins = _clkfreq / (baud << 16 | txPin << 8 | rxPin)

I didn't see that one coming. Thanks kuroneko & Phil - fixed
