That's wrong on two levels:

1. The compiler doesn't usually exactly know the right thing to do. E.g. in this case presumably the error should be something like "You need to order the files so that each file doesn't depend on anything further down the list." The compiler doesn't know what that order should be (maybe in this case it could figure it out, but the point is more general than just this instance).

2. Sometimes the compiler might be able to figure out what you meant but you still did it wrong. If you accept wrong code then pretty soon people will start thinking that it is right, and then you have to support it forever. This is closely related to the thoroughly disproven "Robustness Principle", which actually leads to systems that are really not robust. HTML parsing is a good example (though mostly fixed today).
