Your compiler needs some intensive therapy. :)
(Nevertheless, there is some logic behind this erratic behaviour
because the boundary between declarations and definitions of variables
is blurred.)

Those forward declarations exist because the variables are used in
constructors (.._New, ..._Init) but the code of those constructors uses
these variables. You can try reordering the pieces of code in question and
replace forward declarations of variables with fwd. declarations of
functions.

BTW: Is there any difference between LOCAL_FUNC and LOCAL_DEF? Both
macros appear to have the same semantics and both appear to be used for
functions.
