Even if you say "You must start X before Y" (which looks pretty ugly to me) you need something to cover the case where you start X, it initializes the mutex, you start Y, and now you want to restart X. This time, it can't initialize the mutex because Y may be using it. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
