Well, decorators in general always have an "order matters" behavior, unfortunately -- since they are not guaranteed to always return the function they were given. This is the case with @task -- it wraps the function in a richer task class. So, it does need to come first/at the top of the list of decorators. We should probably add this to the docs so it's explicitly obvious. Please let us know if that doesn't answer the question -- since *most* of the other decorators don't care about the ordering (other Fab decorators simply tack attributes onto the functions and return them) it shouldn't be a problem, per se, to always stick @task at the top.
