    // with other contracts (i.e. they call functions or send Ether)
    // into three phases:
    // 1. checking conditions
    // 2. performing actions (potentially changing conditions)
    // 3. interacting with other contracts
    // If these phases are mixed up, the other contract could call
    // back into the current contract and modify the state or cause
    // effects (ether payout) to be perfromed multiple times.
    // If functions called internally include interaction with external
    // contracts, they also have to be considered interaction with
    // external contracts.
