Actually you do get a warning, at least kind of a warning in the 
TypoScript editor of the backend module "templates" and sometimes in the 
TypoScript Object Browser as well.

You can try it out by putting the following example into a the setup 
field of a template record:

lib.blah = TEXT

page = PAGE
page.10 < lib
page.20 < lig

At least in our testing environment, the "lig" will be red, while lib 
will be blue, since lib has been defined before.

So there already is a mechanism to detect errors at a certain level, but 
this is just not applied in the parser at runtime. So feel free to 
improve that mechanism and add it to the debug mode of the frontend 
rendering.
