Gotchas - Dim statements migrate to the top

The other day, someone wanted to know why the following didn't work:

    count1 = abx.count()
    dim array1(count1)

The reason is that the Dim gets instantiated when the function FIRST starts up.

- WHEREVER you put the dim in the function.

So this occurs BEFORE the value for count1 gets calculated.
i.e. the example is effectively executed as:

    dim array1(count1)
    count1 = abx.count()

So you are trying to dimension an array with a null variable.
