The Order of Include Files

Hi,

	I have used MSC 5.0 for 2.3 years.  But, I never had such
	a strange problem...  First, let me ask you a question:

     /**************************************************************/
	If I rearrange the order of include files, is it possible
	for the compiler to die?
     /**************************************************************/

	Before you answer it, let me tell you a true story:

	I wrote a few include files about 1.7 years ago.  Now, I
	reuse them in my program and try to compile it.  But, after
	few seconds, it stops.  Without any error message, it just
	die!  (I mean I must press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot.)

	I make every effort to debug.  And fail...  Finally, by
	comparing it with other programs, I make a stupid action --
	change the order of my include files.  Then it works!!

	Ok, now, what's your answer?
