Importance of module use order?

[Billy Backer]

Hi,

This may be a silly question, but I have a routine that uses two modules (mod1 & mod2).
One of the modules (mod2) uses the other module (mod1) - so effectively the main routine
is doubly using mod1. I was wondering if it is important regarding the order of the use
statements in the main routine, see below:

-----------------------------------
module mod1
integer :: axx=2
end module mod1

module mod2
use mod1
end module mod2

subroutine sub1
use mod1, oxx=>axx
use mod2
implicit none
print*,axx   !line compiles OK for gfortran, fails for Intel
end subroutine sub1

subroutine sub2
use mod2
use mod1, oxx=>axx
implicit none
print*,axx  !line fails to compile for gfortran, OK for Intel
end subroutine sub2
-----------------------------------

NOTE: I would expect variable "axx" to be non-visible for both routines.
Interestingly, the Intel compiler behaves
in the opposite sense. I can't find anything in the fortran-standard
that mentions module ordering. Do you think the
behaviour is compiler specific?

Thanks in advance,
