I would like to propose that the semantics be extended to control the processing order of the enclosed scope. Besides updating of nodes, there can be other external functions with side-effects (eg. reading from a file), it will be desirable that the user can control the processing order of the expressions, being ordered or unordered, so as to make the behaviour of updates and calling of functions with side-effects predictable. 15726 1 jim.melton 2007-06-29 08:31:35 +0000 This requirement has been accepted as part of the Scripting Extensions.
