Member variables are always initialized in the order they are declared in the class, NOT the order they are listed in the initializer list. Putting them out of order in the initializer list is thus very confusing, and worth warning about. We should never do that in WebKit.
Since relying on the order of declarations is risky -- someone could easily swap those in a "cleanup" and not notice the warning -- I agree with Berto that it's a good idea to do the assignment in the body of the constructor.</pre>
