Subject: Inconsistency in class definition/usage order
From: dor.tchizik@gmail.com (Madara Uchiha)

After I saw this question on Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15688642/how-does-a-class-extension-or-interface-work,
I realized that the guy was right.

Is there an explanation for this, or is it just one of those things
that got overlooked?

Should something be done? (i.e. enforcing class usage only after definition?)
