As far as I can tell we do a general reverse topological sort of the graph, so that *all* relationships are considered. So all relationship target nodes would appear before relationship source nodes.
I'm not 100% sure this is a great idea. Though all the normative relationships seem to have that order -- attaches to, binds to, hosted on, depends on, etc. -- users might be creating other directions, or indeed having more complex inter-relationships. Of course it's generally impossible to make one size fits all, so ARIA at least lets you create your own custom workflows with whatever ordering you need. But I would guess those are edge cases. Are you encountering an issue or just generally wondering?
