Not quite. Just that they are both defined before any of the
invocations. The swift compiler re-orders instructions quite a bit, so
the actual execution order is quite unrelated to the lexical order.

That's exactly why I think that this shouldn't happen. There is no way
to invoke the first definition, so why allow it?
