Well, that was me asking for files before methods. I can't remember
the way we've been discussing the normal ordering at whole, but now
the ordering is as follows (from src/agent.c):
char *TYPESEQUENCE[] =
{
"vars",
"classes", /* Maelstrom order 2 */
"outputs",
"interfaces",
"files",
"packages",
"environments",
"methods",
"processes",
"services",
"commands",
"storage",
"databases",
"reports",
NULL
};
The precedence of files before or after packages is ambiguous because
files promises may well be used for distributing packages themselves.
On the other hand, there's certain need for finalizing files after
packages installation. As for me, there's no much harm in putting
files before packages since they must be successfully evaluated on the
second run if the first run installs a package. It was important to
put'em before methods.
