Does the structure of a C# file affect what is compiled?
For example, would the order of members (in terms of where in the file it exists) affect the compiled class?

According to a blog entry from Eric Lippert I read the other day, the compiler does not guarantee two compilations of the same source to end up the same IL. This wasn’t about method ordering, though, but I think that applies too – so, I don’t think it is safe to assume any method ordering in the compiled class. I also wouldn’t expect any connection between source file method ordering and IL method ordering.
