How do I split a package into multiple files when there are dependencies between their init() functions?

I have a go file for a package that is becoming unwieldy, so I want to split it into multiple logical files.

I have the files currently split (and abridged) like so:

// node.go
package schema

import (
	"github.com/graphql-go/graphql"
	"github.com/graphql-go/relay"
)

var nodeDefinitions *relay.NodeDefinitions

func init() {
	nodeDefinitions = relay.NewNodeDefinitions(relay.NodeDefinitionsConfig{
		IDFetcher: func(id string, info graphql.ResolveInfo) interface{} {
			...
		},
		TypeResolve: func(value interface{}, info graphql.ResolveInfo) *graphql.Object {
			// based on the type of the value, return GraphQLObjectType
			switch value.(type) {
			default:
				return testType //Depends on the test.go
			}
		},
	})
}


//root.go
package schema

import (
	"github.com/graphql-go/graphql"
)

var Schema graphql.Schema

func init() {
	queryType := graphql.NewObject(graphql.ObjectConfig{
		Name: "Query",
		Fields: graphql.Fields{
            "version": &graphql.Field{
			     Type: versionType, //Depends on testtype.go
			     ...
		    },
			"node": nodeDefinitions.NodeField, //Depends on node.go
		},
	})

	Schema, _ = graphql.NewSchema(graphql.SchemaConfig{
		Query: queryType,
	})
}

//testtype.go
package schema

import (
	"github.com/graphql-go/graphql"
	"github.com/graphql-go/relay"
)

var testType *graphql.Object

func init() {
	testType = graphql.NewObject(graphql.ObjectConfig{
		...
		Interfaces: []*graphql.Interface{
			nodeDefinitions.NodeInterface, //Depends on node.go
		},
	})
}

I then use the package in main.go:

result := graphql.Do(graphql.Params{
		Schema:        schema.Schema,
		RequestString: r.URL.Query()["query"][0],
	})

While the package builds correctly, it complains with an error when I run it:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x48e4b6]

main.init()
        C:/go/src/test/testproject/main.go:37 +0x42

This is because:

node.go depends on testtype.go
testtype.go depends on node.go
root.go depends on node.go and testtype.go

go build builds the files in the page by sorting the filenames alphabetically: node.go then root.go then testtype.go.

If I rename root.go to z.go, it builds and runs correctly. Besides renaming root.go to z.go which is less than ideal, is there any other way I can get this working in a scalable way?

You could use just one init() function and put everything in that.

Or if you want to stick with multiple init() functions in multiple .go files, then create one "master" init function that will be called init(), and rename other init functions, e.g. initA(), initB(), and call these from the master init in proper order:

func init() {
    initA()
    initB()
}
