[Cmake] Order (Timing) of CMake commands and MAKE_DIRECTORY

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

The Dart.cmake module has a series of calls like:

  # set the site name
  SITE_NAME(SITE)
  # set the build name
  BUILD_NAME(BUILDNAME)
 
  # make directories in the binary tree
  MAKE_DIRECTORY(${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/HTML/TestingResults/Dashboard)
  MAKE_DIRECTORY(${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/HTML/TestingResults/Sites/${SITE}/${BUILDNAME})

The MAKE_DIRECTORY() call makes a set of directories based on values that SITE_NAME() and
BUILD_NAME() construct.  

The first time CMake is run, it appears as though the MAKE_DIRECTORY calls are being executed before
the SITE_NAME() and BUILD_NAME() commands are called.  So the ${SITE} and ${BUILDNAME} variables are
not set, so they are not replaced in the MAKE_DIRECTORY() call and end up with directories call
"${SITE}" and "${BUILDNAME}".

The second time CMake is run, directories with the correct names are constructed.

Are CMake commands guarenteed to execute in the order they appear in a CMake file?
