C++ faced this very issue by saying that with global data, uniqueness of initialization is guaranteed but order of evaluation is not. Assuming that the global data are merely thunk wrappers over some common data source, this means that at minimum, there can be no data dependencies between plugins where the order of evaluation matters.
Fortunately, we can do a whole lot better with haskell, the type system guarentees that order of evaluation is irrelevant :) no need to specify anything about implementations. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
