+Imports (`use` statements) are not allowed after non-item statements, such as
+variable declarations and expression statements.
+
+Wrong example:
+```
+fn f() {
+    // Variable declaration before import
+    let x = 0;
+    use std::io::Read;
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+The solution is to declare the imports at the top of the block, function, or
+file.
+
+Here is the previous example again, with the correct order:
+```
+fn f() {
+    use std::io::Read;
+    let x = 0;
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+See the Declaration Statements section of the reference for more information
+about what constitutes an Item declaration and what does not:
