Thanks for the link: I've never used MS C/C++ compilers, so #import was 
news to me. 

That said, it appears that #import pulls in and/or generates some sort of 
proprietary type definition file plus an #include file. So, it would 
appear that #import would suffer from exactly the same ordering problems 
as #include does.
