       It is not possible to declare types in alphabetical order
       in Modula-2 as defined by N. Wirth.


       Refer to the Scope Rule Sectionin Programming in Modula-2 by
       N. Wirth.

       ....

           If an identifier is defined by declaration D1 is used
           in another declaration D2, then D1 MUST TEXTUALLY precede
           D2.

           Exceptions for this are pointers.
