When I script out my user-defined functions & attempt to
install them on another system, I receive object-not
defined errors because a udf (toward the top of the file)
depends on one defined at the bottom of the SQL file.

Is there a way to have SQL Server 2000 script out the
UDF's in order of dependency? Or is there a way to
perform forward declarations like in C,C++?

I notice that stored procedures don't have this problem.
