Hello,
I assume that the answer to you problem is that such "assignments" to record
fields
occur in order deemed convenient (read: efficient) by compiler, and not
necessarily in
the order you write them in your code.

In the second snippet, compiler probably generates code in such a way that
(input_value file : finfos) occurs before (input_value file : fid).

The first snippet is _the_ way in OCaml to ensure the order of execution of
functions
with side effects, like input_value.

Hope this helps,
Friendly,
Dmitry
