For example placing definitions prior use prevents undefined forward reference problems.  I am not commenting on possible efficiencies or either technique.  Whether by design or fortune, Linux allows developers a less restrictive ordering.   I suppose that the ordering is due for the lack of functionality in the linker that Cygwin uses.
