So with current order, patch 2 introduces regression that is fixed in patch 4, is my understanding correct?
This is not the best idea because it will break bisectability. I would recommend you to change the order and move patch #4 to the begin.
Also it would be reasonable to leave a note in patch 2 comment that it causes regression if applied alone.
