It's still there, just not in those words. As mentioned in the
introduction, build order is provided by the wget file lists. BLFS

went against the outcome of the community's discussion on what
dependency information to include for xorg7.
Whoops, sorry for not paying attention. I see the file order in the wget
list and just read the note in the Introduction.
Specifically, we (I think that might be three of us that agreed fully)
had decided against any inter-package/inter-group dependencies, instead
viewing xorg7 as a *single* package. There were two obvious exceptions
(xbitmaps and luit) that were separated from their xorg defined groups
simply because they couldn't be lumped into their group of packages'
build, and be expected to work. For now, this information belongs in
the wiki.

Actually, I *do* also agree that dependency info for each individual
library and app does not need to be in the book. However, I do still
believe there is a difference between giving dependency information and
simply providing what I see to be simply an additional bit of necessary
installation instructions. In any case, what's in the book now certainly
does work. I still somewhat disagree with it, mainly that installing
everything eliminates the point of the "modular" build system, but I do
understand the need to simplify things (even if for nothing else than
support purposes).
