If you turn on warnings, you'll see that the compiler tells you that global
switches must appear before any statements.

They are only enabled by default in macpas mode and ISO because traditional
Macintosh Pascal and ISO Pascal compilers are the only ones that supported them
by default (albeit not via the "is nested" syntax). They'll probably never be
enabled by default in any other mode. The reason is simply that there is no
need to do so.
