Is there an order to the way InterMapper loads MIBs?

Q. Is there an order to the way InterMapper loads MIBs? Is there a way to influence the order the MIBs are imported?

A. MIBs have their explicit dependencies listed in the IMPORT section of the MIB. When InterMapper starts up, the MIBs are loaded in order based on the dependencies with the other MIBs; MIBs that provide necessary definitions for other MIBs are imported first.

If a MIB's IMPORT section is incomplete or contains circular references, the MIBs may load in the wrong order. If you have MIBs that aren't loading, you should check the IMPORT section of the MIBs to see if the list of imported definitions is incomplete. The MIB files you import are stored in the InterMapper Settings/MIBs directory as text files; you can modify them in place there.
