The starting point is the top of the file. Class and def statements are 
executable, and bind their names to the definitions. The bodies are this 
compiled, but the compiled code is only executed when a call is made 
(which avoids forward referencing problems, by and large: names are 
late-bound).

So the interpreter just starts at the top and runs through the code in 
sequence.
