[LC++]Scoping question

[Jack Lloyd]

I've got a question that is just plain nasty, and I've got the feeling I'm
going to have to wade through the ISO spec to figure it out. But I thought
I would take a chance on asking here first.

I have a global variable x.

I also have a static variable y, inside a static member function in a
class.

If x's destructor is called before y's, the program will crash (y needs to
call x to do it's destruction).

Am I guaranteed this will happen as I want by ISO? I know that for global
variables in seperate files, any ordering can be used for their
construction/destruction. Is this the same situation with static variables,
or are they considered to be constructed strictly after and destroyed
strictly before global variables are?

Thanks,
  Jack
