 RV> Here is the sequence I use as food for thought/discussion:

 RV> Declare CONSTANTs
 RV> Declare FUNCTIONs
 RV> Declare SUBs
 RV> 'REMs  Program description and comments.
 RV> DEFINT, DEFSNG. etc. if used.
 RV> TYPE statements for files.
 RV> DIM statements for files.
 RV> OPEN files.
 RV> COMMONs
 RV> SHAREDs
 RV> DIMS
 RV> Declare variables.
 RV> start code.

Here's mine:
     Global
          TYPE's
          COMMON SHARED's
          DECLARE FUNCTION's
          DECLARE SUB's
          CONST's
     Local
          TYPE's
          Block COMMON SHARED's
          DECLARE FUNCTION's
          DECLARE SUB's
          CONST's

     Code

     ON ERROR GOTO ErrorTrap

     Global and Local Shared DIM's

     GOSUB Init
     GOSUB Main
     GOSUB Finish

     CHAIN PreviousProgram$

You can't put DIM's in front of COMMON SHARED's.
