Actually, they're not -- the class object is created *after* executing the class body! So this is a (small) precedent for writing things out of order when it helps.
I fairly often will write classes by writing the class header, then write the methods headers, and then go back and fill in the method bodies. The mental model for solving a problem doesn't have to match the exact computational order. Cheers, Ron
