+# Declaration rules
+
+## Order declarations by use
+
+### Rule
+
+Order related Rust declarations from the type that uses other local types to those local dependencies.
+For a type with multiple local field dependencies, place dependencies in field order.
+Apply the rule depth-first before moving to the next dependency.
+
+### Rationale
+
+Use-first order lets readers start with the public or owning shape.
+They can then read supporting types in the order the owner references them.
