Subject: when to call provide, first or last?

Hi,

What's the accepted idiom for calling (provide 'foo-feature)?  I picked up
the habit of calling it first in every library I write.  This way two
libraries can call functions from each other without causing a circular
dependency.

But I had a look through lisp/*.el and everything calls provide last.  Is
there some disadvantage to calling it first that I'm not seeing?
