The difference is not only the order of lines, but in the last case "F" in
known as function name

in current block, so POV is correct, reporting an error..

If we put " #local F=" inside e.g. a macro block, like below, it works OK

//----------------------------
 #macro  M(F)
 #local F=function{x}
 #end

 #macro P(F) #end

 /*----------------------------
 6.2.2.2  #declare vs. #local

 Use of #local in the main scene file (not in an include file and not in a
macro)
  is identical to #declare.
  For clarity sake you should not use #local in a main file except in a
macro.
