Product.condition depending on module values might fail

      The following project 

      // modules/mybuildconfig/mybuildconfig.qbs
Module {
    property bool falseProperty: false
}

// app.qbs
Product {
    condition: mybuildconfig.falseProperty
    Depends { name: "does.not.exist" }
    Depends { name: "mybuildconfig" }
}

      produces the error

      app.qbs:4 Can't find variable: mybuildconfig

      because mybuildconfig is indeed not loaded, because the module loader bails out as soon as does.not.exist cannot be loaded.

      Reordering the Depends items fixes the problem.

      // app.qbs
Product {
    condition: mybuildconfig.falseProperty
    Depends { name: "mybuildconfig" }
    Depends { name: "does.not.exist" }
}

      This is especially harmful in cases where inheritance is involved, because that makes it hard to control the order of Depends items.
