In The Secret Garden musicalverse, it seems that Dickon knows he's in a musical. He uses the properties of musicals in a way I can't interpret any other way.
In the song "Wick" (which, incidentally, the Felix in my head tells me is a very good metaphor), toward the middle, Mary and Dickon pause for some talking. Mary is worried about the possibility that Archibald or Colin will want to claim the garden once it's been woken up. Dickon says "Wouldn't that be a miracle, to get a poor crippled boy out to see his mother's garden," and then before Mary can object - indeed, I'd say to stop her from objecting - he starts back into the song in such a way that Mary sings along.
Wouldn't you say that sounds like he knows it's a musical?
