Try this as an experiment:
In one package define an infix notation on
Subscript[\[SubsetEqual,"c"]] and give it any name you like, say,
ClosedSubset. In another package, put in one statement that actually
uses the notation. Be sure to put in the Needs as necessary. I bet
you'll find that Mathematica won't interpret the new operator unless
you run the first package in another front-end window first; the
Needs[] call is insufficent.
