Comment(by strider72):

 "Sorry for the confusion, but doesn't ABSPATH get defined in this way?"

 ABSPATH is properly defined in wp-load.php.  It is conditionally defined
 in wp-config.php for backwards compatibility with plugins that call wp-
 config directly.  Plugins should not do this, but many do anyway.
