[racket] Order of executing required modules

That's clear. My test modules do not require any other test module and
export nothing.
Lesson learned: modules that are required by other ones should not produce
side effects that may alter the behaviour of another required module. Well,
I never did so, but it is good to be aware of it. I expect that the top
level module of a program may rely on side effects of sub level modules (as
for example in a module defining a new language and read-table for a module
using this language)
Thanks, Jos
