I'm having a problem with the order of initialization of global objects
within my project. All my source is in C++ and I'm using Xcode 2.2.

I have a class which defines only static members and methods. All the
declarations are made in the header and the definitions in the cpp
file. However at execution time, it turns out that one of the static
methods is called before the static members have been initialized. Is
there a way I can force the class members to be initialized before it
is used by other global objects? I tried reordering the Compile
Sources, but it did not have any effect.

I hope I'm asking the right question. Thanks for any help.
