In Tweak we have basically a fixed load order (==configuration) which
originates from the configuration used in the original build. But the
main reason for wanting to have a well-defined load order is that
typically, if there are sets of cross-package changes, they follow
already established dependencies. Meaning that if I change a base class
to include a new property and then some higher-level code to use it the
load-order simply ensures that by default we load the dependent package
version first. It may work without the load order, too, but the way it
is right now is just clean and simple.
