Dieter,

in fact the code in zzz.R is processed if zzz.R will be processed 
according to sorting in a C locale. But since all other code regularly 
consists of function definition or definition of methods and therelike, 
the ordering is irrelevant (and if your code to be processed dierectly 
depends on functions defined in your package, then it becomes relevant 
not to happen in the very beginning.

Best,
Uwe
