in SCons you don't specify dependencies between SConscripts/SConstructs, 
but only between the target and source nodes, that you declare and 
describe within those build specification files. Before the build phase 
starts, all of these specs get included recursively, a little bit like C 
headers in the preprocessing step before the compile. In this "reading" 
phase, the order of the single build commands doesn't matter, they are 
not executed yet.

Once all SConscripts are read in, or expanded, SCons starts the build 
phase and resolves dependencies on the Node level...not like automake on 
the directory level!
This is an important difference, and if you didn't quite get it yet, 
continue to ask questions please.

Best regards,

Dirk
