Just to repeat myself: This is clearly a problem for tsort(1): Give
restrictions of the form "This has to come after that" (perhaps a special
comment at the start of the file containing the init function?), tsort that
and pick the order out of the result. Should be a few lines of script. No
central repository for the dependencies, no messing around with half the
world to fix dependencies. Plus they become explicit, which they aren't
today.
