That knowledge requires, at minimum, evaluating the rest of each module, beyond what is expressed in the `import` statements. That's assuming there's no dynamic trickery going on that would invalidate whatever assumptions it can draw from surface-level analysis. Because of this, only the `import` statements are declaratively available to the module system to work with. Based on that, it definitely can't make any ordering assumptions; all it knows is that A imports C, B imports C, and C imports both A and B, making a circular import. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
