No, this is not a good example. Although extensively tested, I have
used hiedDA loaded after Suitcase. My guess is that hierDA patches
AddResMenu, and that's not done until after all INITs have loaded...

(It wasn't on my system, so I can't check it now. It worked then)

Also, there's only ONE type of INIT that SHOULD have to be loaded in special
order , namely INITs that modify the behaviour of other INITs.

IconWrap, ForceMount and INIT cdev are examples of these. Any other
INIT should not depend on load-order, unless it's from Microsoft :-)

Happy Hacking !
