Hey Steve,
If memory serves...
A long time ago handlers that were declared after the main script HAD to be in order of execution.
E.g. a hander that was called in another handler had to be declared before the handler that called it.
But.
If the handlers were declared BEFORE the main script this was not a problem.
I got in the habit of writing scripts this way (handlers at top) and only a few years ago started putting them at the bottom.
