In this case, just write it like that, and only adjust it for the
somewhat different syntax:

   func foo:int =
       let int c := c1(10)
       let int b := c + c2(2)
       let int a := b+c3(c)
       bar()
       baz()
       return c
   end

"out of order" and compiler will rearrange them in correct
order.  That looked like great opportunity to write obfuscated

This allows for circular references in order to support
the construction of lazy objects:

Just a short reminder that this is comp.lang.c, and nothing about
any of the discussions above has anything to do with C.
