Thanks! I think that answers my question. Is there a way to force the
merge process to reverse the order that it places the Use statements? I am
not sure I need that capability yet, I am just curious. I guess I should
read the manual again. More carefully this time! I seem to remember
something regarding the Use statements and the chain of execution. As soon
as I straighten out my difficulties with the jsx error messages during
installation when it tries to create/access a temp file, I can verify my
assumptions and experiment.
I appreciate all the help and knowledge I get from this list!
