Nothing so elegant, I'm afraid. Each module has all top level 
declarations added to a list, SDC then iterates over the list 
trying to resolve them appropriately. If it can, it marks it as 
done and moves to the next. If it can't it increments the "can't 
resolve" counter and keeps going. If on a given loop the can't 
resolve counter is zero, then a source of top level declarations 
(static if, import statements, version blocks, etc) is added to 
the list. This keeps going until the entire list is handled, or 
we've hit an impossible situation.

Rather simplistic, but we haven't had any trouble with it yet.
