Generally speaking policy should not be order dependent. In the current implementation, let bindings, module definitions and system definitions may be order dependent. If they are split across multiple files, the order they are processed in is compiler defined, which makes this problem worse.

Cascade should preprocess the definitions to know what bindings and definitions are defined before processing their definitions to remove this dependency.

Reorder statements to work around libcascade bug

Let bindings and module definitions should not be order dependent.  Due
to a current libcascade bug that is expected to be carried into 0.1,
they are order dependent.  Reorder to make current libcascade happy, and
revert this after the bug is fixed.
