[Cuis] Package format

Hi,

I've read http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/CodeManagementInCuis4.html but
I'm unclear on something.

Some Cuis packages - https://github.com/garduino/Cuis-JSON for
instance - store an entire package in a .pck.st file. This looks like
a standard chunk fileout.

So far so good. But sometimes one wants to store code in more than one
file. https://github.com/pmon/Cuis-PetitParser for instance uses four
files, to keep the tests separate from the code under test, and so on.

But how do you file in this set of files automatically? Does Cuis have
some analysis tools to, say, topologically sort class references and
so knows to file in PetitParser.pck before PetitTests.pck? Or do you
rely on the user loading things in by hand, and guessing the correct
order?

(GNU Smalltalk makes you specify the load order, in a package.xml
file. This file also allows you to express dependencies on other
packages.)
