Does order matter when #defines are using other #defines?

three macro need be only defined before use of nine macro.
You can even change three before every use of nine:

#define nine three*3
#define three 3

int main()
{
    std::cout << nine; //9
#undef three
#define three 4
    std::cout << nine; //12
#undef three
    //no `three` macro defined here
    int three = 2;
    std::cout << nine; //three * 3 == 6
    return 0;
}
