That's because TI-85.h has equates in it that establish the values
of some of the labels in your programs, and macros that you use
are defined in it.  You can't use either a label or a macro in
most assemblers before it's defined, so TI-85.h has to be at the
beginning.


There might also be other things that have to be at the beginning.
