    Description

      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.
