Sorry, this thing you are doing probably won't work with the lambda 
aproach. I was thinking about defining a lambda which will take the 
symbols you want to have bound inside the evaled code. Something like this.

(define user-code '(+ (* 2 (* x x)) (* 5 x)))

(let ([x 5]
       [y 10])
   ((eval `(lambda (x y) ,user-code)) x y))

This obviously won't work for set!.
