Describe the bug

In Javascript, imports are hoisted. So the following code works

decamelize("HelloThere")
import decamelize from 'decamelized'

But when transformed in vite ssr, it produces the following

__vite_ssr_import_0__.default("HelloThere");
const __vite_ssr_import_0__ = await __vite_ssr_import__("decamelize");

Which obviously doesn't work and produces the following error

Cannot access '__vite_ssr_import_0__' before initialization

Originally opened in vitest-dev/vitest#2138 but it's a Vite issue actually.

I believe this is a bug for two reasons:

• Valid JavaScript code doesn't work when using Vite
• inconsistency between dev and production modes of Vite. (this works when doing a production build, imports are moved to the top of the file)

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-xhfybw?file=vite.config.js,server.js,entry.js&terminal=dev

Steps to reproduce

Run node server.js and you will see the error.

It's worth noting that the production SSR build actually works. So this is an inconstintency as well
