oh, what it does is that it adds in the beggining of the pd file something like the line

'#X declare -path else'

the declare object is saved anywhere in the Pd file and it doesn't matter where, so I was actually correct in my first message.

actually, it seems Pd always saves declare at the top of the Pd file, so you don't need to worry and do that yourself ;)

This puts the [declare] object at the start of the.pd file, so the library will be loaded before the patch.

[declare] can be anywhere of the .pd file, it always succeeds in loading externals
