scope for class and method defines

Sorry if this is a FAQ in the Clos world:

If I define a class or method within an scoped environment such as a
let
the class or method which is generated appears in the global
environment.
Is this correct behaviour? It is certainly convienient for my current
application but I don't want to depend on it as it sounds wrong...

eg:

(let ((foo "bar"))
  (define-class <foo-class> () ())
  (define-method bar ((self <foo-class>)) foo)
  )

(bar (make <foo-class>)) ==> "bar"


Thanks in advance,
