General syntax:

line based, one directive per line

directive values..

Lines starting with # and blank lines ignored

(# also supported after acl lines)

Sequence dependent directives:

*_access
tcp_outgoing_*
access_log
and maybe a few more..

Ordering dependence:

Things must be defined before they can be referenced.

acl, before where they are used in access lists
logformat, before being used in accesslog
etc..

Standalone directives not referencing anything else can be placed in any
order you like.

trivial.

ordering requirements maybe not entirely trivial, but fully manageable.
