Please explain the following code used in the Zen Card code?

1. What is this securityToken in shopping cart page form?

2. What is the purpose of this line? Why is should be in the first line od the script?

// This should be first line of the script:
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_NO_ACCOUNT');

1. is a security device to prevent third parties from hijacking visitor's shopping cart.
   
2. It's a notifier providing a point at which add-on modules can extend the functionality through an observer class without having to hack into the core code. That one is designed to be the first line, so that if an add-on were designed to change how the cart works when there's no account, it can do so before Zen Cart starts normal processing.
