- When you delete a parent object and the operation cascades to children, the object-level operation order is delete parent, then delete children.

In my experience, the cascade should delete the children first. This solves 99% of the cascade delete issues.

It seems to me you'd just have the exact same problem when forward foreign keys (rather than inverse ones as in a one-many) are used. Or do you mean that cascading to a collection should delete the children first, but cascading through a to-one should not?
