Assembler: possible to force inclusion of model file(s) at the very beginning of netlist?

Is it possible to force the order in which "model" (.scs) files are included in the netlists that Assembler produces? For example, force it to add them right at the beginning of the netlist (just like it somehow always does for "ade_e.scs")?

Context: I have some big testbenches in which some variables are defined by means of .scs files, which are then included as model files in Assembler. This works great, except that then it becomes impossible to sweep these variables through corner definitions (as I normally could for any explicitly-defined variable in Assembler), because the values Assembler assigns at each sweep point get overridden in the netlist by the hardcoded definitions in those model files.

The above could be avoided if the model file were included *earlier* in the produced netlists, as then it would be the hardcoded values the ones to get overriden by the local values assigned by Assembler at each sweep point, instead of the opposite. Is there any way to achieve this effect?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Jorge.
