I'm looking at some code in an application of ours and came across something a little odd from what I normally do. With exception handling and cleanup, we (as well as many other programmers out there, I'm sure) use a Try/Finally block embedded with a Try/Except block. Now I'm used to the Try/Except inside the Try/Finally like so:

Try
  Try
    CouldCauseError(X);
  Except
    HandleError;
  end;
Finally
  FreeAndNil(x);
end;

but this other block of code is reversed as so:

Try
  Try
    CouldCauseError(X);
  Finally
    FreeAndNil(x);
  end;
Except
  HandleError;
end;

Looking around the web, I'm seeing folks doing this both ways, with no explanation as to why. My question is, does it matter which gets the outside block and which gets the inside block? Or will the except and finally sections get handled no matter which way it is structured? Thanks.
