You can add an entry before or after another entry.  Remember, the more
entries in your binding directory, the slower the CRTPGM will run.  You
might want to consider just adding the service program entries and not the
modules.

No, the first service program or module in the list which satisfies the
unresolved reference is bound by reference if it is a service program or by
copy if it is a module.

If 2 entries resolve the same reference and both are required to resolve 2
additional separate references, there may be a problem.  I have not tested
this because we NEVER permit this situation.  E.g. Module 1 refers to A, B,
and C.  Module 2 resolves references to A and B.  Module 3 resolves
references to A and C.  Both modules must be bound to resolve references to
B and C but you can not bound them together because they both define A.
