I have a problem. I'm writing a simulation program with a number of mechanical components represented as objects. When I create instances of objects, I need to reference (link) each object to the objects upstream and downstream of it, i.e.
supply = supply() compressor = compressor(downstream=combustor, upstream=supply) combuster = combuster(downstream=turbine, upstream=compressor) etc. the problem with this is that I reference 'combustor' before is it created. If I swap the 2nd and 3rd lines I get the same problem (compressor is referenced before creation). aargh!!! any ideas on getting around this?
