Not putting header first may give you a compiling error.
I create templates and orders of routines so that I don't get
the "Used before defined" error message. Got to define what 
it is before you use it.

  "I think most things, except sr, kr, ksmps, nchnls, and 0dbfs
could be put anywhere", sounds about right. And the sr, kr, 
ksmps, nchnls, and 0dbfs all go in the header.

You can also define a lot of the global statements inside an instrument.
I think most things, except sr, kr, ksmps, nchnls, and 0dbfs could be
put anywhere,
and I routinely put all FLTK code inside an instrument and keep that
instrument "always on".

OK, thanks for the clarification! So provided I put sr, kr, etc. first 
and am careful about re-initializing FLTK etc., I should be OK...

Thanks again,
