Since you are using C#, the compiler will rearrange the classes
for you.  It is perfectly OK to compile B.cs then A.cs, if B
inherits from A.  I don't see what the problem is.

Why are you using C# at all?  The goal of the discussion on
gcc/treecc so far is to allow third parties to quickly build
new front-ends for gcc, with _no_ dependency on anything except
treecc itself.  Using C# introduces a dependency on pnet.
You should be using treecc to generate C code to solve this
problem.  Unless of course you are solving a different problem.
