Hi,

I'd appreciate clarification on whether a YANG grouping defined and used in the 
same file must have the grouping definition first, before the 'uses' statement.

On the one hand, RFC 6020 section 7.11 states: 'Once a grouping is defined, it 
can be referenced in a "uses" statement', suggesting a C / C++ -style which 
doesn't allow forward references.  
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#section-7.11)

On the other hand, section 6.2 states 'Forward references are allowed in YANG.' 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#section-6.2).

I am assuming that the second, more explicit, statement trumps the first, but 
would appreciate confirmation.

Thanks,

William
