New Comment:
the new semantics that allows calling functions prior to their
definition only works for functions defined in a global scope
as soon as a function definition is within a conditional
block or nested within another function the new function
cannot be created at parse time as it is not known yet
wether the condition will be met or the surrounding
function ever called, so these functions are created at
runtime instead when execution reaches this part of the code
so it is rather obvious that you can't call such a function ahead of
it's definition
well, maybe not *that* obvious, reclassified as documentation problem

Parhaps, ZE2 should depreciate this syntax.
I really want BNF for PHP.

container ();
a script to reproduce the error quickly.
function container () {
function nested_php3 () {
echo "this will be output";
}
nested_php3 ();
nested_php4 ();
function nested_php4 () {
echo "this won't be output";
}
}
