Yes, clearer, but there are two things:

1) There was a statement by someone before that BEGINs have no order in their precedence or execution, and I think your explanation shows that there is. Their order and precedence goes in sequence to a very well-defined list (the one you enumerated). Is that not true?

2) you didn't address the open issue regarding when $ENV has value(s). Randall says they don't at BEGIN time, but it seems they do. What about this?
