Why does it matter whether each is in a unique dataset?  If FMIDs are selected 
from an alphabetical list and dropped into a common MCS during build, wouldn't 
this problem still manifest?  With IBM products its usually Hccnnnn for base 
and Jccnnnn for dependent, so GIMPAF order will be alpha order.  Apparently not 
everyone follows that convention.

Why does order matter?  Is it because the FMID list in the GZONE entry is not 
updated until RECEIVE processing for that SYSMOD is complete, only after which 
it moves on to the next?  Just curious and trying to contrast with ASSIGN 
statements in RECEIVE processing where order is unimportant.
