darn you are right with the startup flags.
i remember pretty well that this used to be different.

apart from that, i can now (after a tiny test) confirm that at least
[declare -lib x -path y] behaves differently than
[declare -path y -lib x]


[declare -lib x -path y]:

this is the behaviour i would have been expecting from the startup flags 
as well.
