I've just had an issue on this matter and, for practical purposes, the code inside <% %> tags executes before code inside .

The declaration of functions and procedures seems not to be affected by this difference in the way IIS understands the Classic ASP tags -- at least as I don't use conditional code loading with "Server.Execute".

my server runs Microsoft-IIS/5.1 as in Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_SOFTWARE").
