'Imports' statements must precede any declarations

An Imports statement follows a declaration statement within a source file.

The Imports statement imports namespace names from referenced projects and assemblies, as well as namespace names defined within the same project as the one in which it appears. Imports statements must be placed in a source file before any references to identifiers.
