Who knew static initializers depend on the order?

gistfile1.cs

public static readonly string[] MyPaths = GetAllPaths("path1", "path2");

static readonly string[] AllExtensions = new[] { ".htm", ".html", ".sshtml" };

private static string[] GetAllPaths(params string[] viewLocations)
{
  // this will throw a NRE since AllExtensions is null!
  return viewLocations.SelectMany(view => AllExtensions.Select(extension => view + extension)).ToArray();
}
