That could depend on whether you are using a framework or not. Some frameworks set properties as the form instantiates to determine if certain things have happened. By messing up the order, you could cause unexpected results.

One other way to mess up the instantiation order is to issue a SetFocus on a control during the Init of the form. In order for VFP to set the focus to the control, it first has to Activate the form. You end up with something like the following:

Form Init calls Control.SetFocus
Form.Activate
Form.GotFocus
Control.GotFocus
Control.GotFocus
Form.Show
