Forward declarations in bash?

I have lot many functions in a shell script source file in which one calls other so Always I have to place the functions in the correct order.

Isn't there any thing like forward declaration of function in shell script as we have in C/C++ ?

EDIT : Or, is there any way to implement it ?

    AFAIK, forward declarations aren't necessary at all. As long as you don't use a function before all its dependencies have been read by the shell. Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 14:33
