In the first example you use ,in to enter the package PROGRAM, this
makes PROGRAM the INTERACTION-ENVIRONMENT, FOO is accessible there so
everything is alright (check the value of (interaction-environment)
after a ,in command).
In the second example you do not have access to FOO since it is not
exported and you are not within PROGRAM so this failes.

The environment argument required by load is a package. With the
procedure GET-PACKAGE from PACKAGE-COMMANDS-INTERNAL you can map a
name symbol to a package:
Scsh 0.5.3
> ,config (define-structure foo (export bar) (open scheme) (begin (define bar
> 1)))
> ,open package-commands-internal
> (eval 'bar (get-package 'foo))
Load structure foo (y/n)? y
[foo
.
