I was suggesting a similar thing some time ago. Basically it will
be function something along the lines of (jde-load-outer-project-file).
Then user could call this function from anywhere (i.e. at the begining,
at the end, in the middle) of a project file. This
is somewhat like being able to call super.method() anyhere from the
overridden method. It is more flexible that way.

The customize could support an option where user gets to choose where
the call to (jde-load-outer-project-file) is generated in the prj.el.
The choices could be at-the-begining (default for
backword compatibility), at-the-end, explicit.
When the user chooses explicit then it is the user's responsibility
to insert the call in the prj.el file whereever they wish.

Does it make sense ?

Last time the suggestion got ignored.... ;)
