in my (old) snort (Snort 2.8.6.1 GRE (Build 39)), the next line is the loading 
of the Portscan Detection Config... it is immediately after the 
alert_multiple_requests line... then i have the following sections...

  FTPTelnet Config
  SMTP Config
  SSH Config
  DCE/RPC 2 Preprocessor Configuration
  DNS Configuration
  SSLPP config
  Initializing rule chains...

maybe this helps somewhat?
