Hi jack,
It's an intersting question. I will try my best to explain it for you.

When u excuting the main method, the class InitSequenceDemo that contain the 
main method will be loaded first.
As this loading, all the static fileds and static methods will also be 
initialized for the first time. And the fileds and methods loaded sequence 
is the same as they are in the class, that means static InitSequenceClassA 
isc1 you wrote first, it will be loaded first, then isc1, and the static { 
prt("isc.i=" + isc1.i+ "isc2.i=" + isc2.i); ...... follows.
Now, let's try to explain the results as you see.
When isc1 was loaded, it is only get an refrence, notice this, there is not 
any InitSequenceClassA object was created!!
As now, InitSequenceClassA.i(equals with isc.i, because i is static) is 
nothing but default int value 0.
Do u understand this?
I means if no InitSequenceClassA object exits, ofcause no constractor 
method(public InitSequenceClassA()) is called! So, InitSequenceClassA.i must 
not be 15.

Let's go on.

look at these codes:
> static{
> prt("isc.i=" + isc1.i+ "isc2.i=" + isc2.i);
> isc1 = new InitSequenceClassA(27);
> prt("isc1.i=" + isc1.i + "isc2.i=" + isc2.i);

The 3rd line told us a really InitSequenceClassA object was created, and its 
refrence is isc1. The constractor(public InitSequenceClassA(int i) ) of 
InitSequenceClassA was called for the first time, so the i was 27.

The next line code was be excuted then, the second InitSequenceClassA object 
was created, and the i was 15. Because the filed i is staic, all the filed 
i'value was be asigned 15 no matter ojbect isc1 and isc2. And the results 
proved it.

> isc.i=0isc2.i=0
> isc1.i=27isc2.i=27
> isc1.i=15isc2.i=15


Hope my explaining will help you.

Philip
