[R] setClass() and packages

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Where should the setClass() ('methods' package) calls be placed in a
package? I try to follow a one-class-one-file principe, but since
setClass("ClassA", "ClassB") has to come a after setClass("ClassB", [snip])
it is not possible to fully follow this rule. So the best I can do now is to
put all setClass() calls in a file named "000.R" (I know this file is *not*
guaranteed to be included first, but it works with current build script):

  setClass("ClassB", [snip])
  setClass("ClassA", "ClassB")
  ...

Doing like this is fine with me, but is this the correct/best way? How are
other people dealing with this "problem"?
