Nah, this is (largely) useless.
What I'd really need is this:
If I have
<fileset dir="foo" includesfile="bar" />
then the files would be handled in the same order as they appear in the
file "bar". Wildcard expansion can be arbitrary for all I care.
Right now, if I need to specify the order, I can't load the filenames from
a single datafile, I must hardcode them into each and every buildfile
separately.
Yeah, you shouldn't need to specify loading order -- unfortunately some
badly behaving 3rd party JARs leave no choice.
