Hen and Egg

I haven't paid much attention to the creation order of fields until I began toying with the technique I uploaded in this thread:

...where dependencies works both ways. It's so that if you deside to add a new field to your solution, and you by accident defines the global first - will the transaction not work.

The order to make it work is:

1) Define the non global

2) Define the global

3) Make the autoenter for the non global field, it important to stress Get Field( is needed, the timing difference plays a role...

4) Make the autoenter for the global with Evaluate

...give it a try make you own sequence and the global suddently looses it's value!
