There are keywords that determine the order of execution,
those are especially REQUIRE and PROVIDE. You need to
set them in the rc.d/ scripts. For example, the script
that has to run first gets the proper PROVIDE setting,
the script that depends on the first script - the one
that should therefore be started _after_ the previous
service is up - gets the REQUIRE keyword. You can see
a better explaination in "man rcorder". See the rc.d/
files of your services.
E. g. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server:
# PROVIDE: mysql
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
Depending on the service that mysql requires, you would
need to code something like
# PROVIDE: bla
in this service's startup file, and then add
# REQUIRE: bla
to mysql's startup file. The correct order of execution is
determined automatically by the rcorder mechanism.

FreeBSD does not have this kind of runlevel based startup.
