Anybody knows what's the rationale?

I'm guessing it's related to -

 Unlike module level declarations, declarations within function 
 scope are processed in order.

And I'd suspect that the cleanest solution would be similar to 
the one given for interdependent functions: Declare the nested 
functions in a static nested struct instead.
