I have some code that i would like executed before anything

The code is to set an environment variable which is used by a

environment variable on the command line, or in any shell
script or initialization file.
I think the place to put such code would be in a 'static this'
inside a module.
So i need some way to force my module to be initialized first,
ahead of all others.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the link.
It was funny, and for sure too many cooks spoil the broth.
I don't think that applies here, since i'm just trying to tweak
the initialization order, and i'm the only programmer involved.
Of course, i guess all sinners try to justify their wrongdoing
--- hope i'm not doing that here!!
Thanks for your reply.
:)
