Jest commonjs gives ReferenceError: Cannot access before initialization when jest.mock and exported class about swc_mut_cjs_exports

[magic-akari]

Could that ordering be an issue that causes the runtime error?

Yes. All import statements will be hoisted.
In fact, It's a bug of tsc. see microsoft/TypeScript#16166

Could a jest plugin like this hoisting of mock calls be related?

It's possible to hoist jest related methods.

I haven't tested it myself. Have you tried manually editing the statement order of the swc compiled files?
If it is feasible, It's better to send a feature request to https://github.com/swc-project/plugins/tree/main/packages/jest , since it is related to import hoisting and this repository focuses on the mutability of export.

note: it seems that esbuild-jest is transforming the test source file using babel when the source code contains the string ock(: aelbore/esbuild-jest@e94d4c1#diff-a2a171449d862fe29692ce031981047d7ab755ae7f84c707aef80701b3ea0c80R34
