Not allowed... http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/execution.html#44557 have a read... There is this paragraph: ' The static initializers and class variable initializers are executed in textual order, and may not refer to class variables declared in the class whose declarations appear textually after the use, even though these class variables are in scope (§8.3.2.3). This restriction is designed to detect, at compile time, most circular or otherwise malformed initializations.'
