>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: tapestry-core
>    Affects Versions: 5.1.0.5

> Tapestry currently has no API to control in what order initialization 
> JavaScript occurs; in fact, much of the initialization (when using 
> RenderSupport.addInit()) will be in an arbitrary order (determined by Map key 
> traversal, which is unpredictable).
> It would be nice if there was some control to ensure that certain 
> initializations occurred before or after others.
> A canonical example is a mixin that adds a confirmation dialog to a link; 
> that event handler for the dialog must come FIRST before any other event 
> handlers for the click event of the link. Since Prototype doesn't seem to 
> provide a way to establish that ordering, Tapestry needs to.
> RenderSupport.addInit() needs new overrides (or perhaps a new method, 
> addScheduledInit()) where a prioritization is added; the priority is a 
> number; all initializations for a particular priority level occur before 
> initializations for a numerically higher level. The default priority should 
> be some reasonable number (0, 100, 1000 ... but fixed) to make it easier to 
> say "before" or "after" ... much as the CSS z-order property is used.
