Yep
1) Look at the code, and reverse the other in which both calls are made :)
2) Wait for me to get off my a**, and do the same thing than exiscan, namely
   writing the code to support another local_scan function

That said, it's just a kludge. We really need a master local_scan that can
call modules in a predefined order.
Mmmh, I guess that means more work I need to do, although I may have a way
to do this quickly. I'll see...
