But actually, what I was referring to was this problem of--for
example--having a feedback system where the send~ is inside a subpatch
and the receive~ is outside of it. IIRC, you have to be very careful
about whether you create the send~ subpatch first or the receive~ first.

Just remember, that everything, that is connected directly trough
signal cords, will be evaluated top to bottom, and everything that is
not connected through signal chords, will be evaluated in "random"
order [...]

But it properly isn't random, as from the quote from Millers book says "in reality Pd executes them all in a sequential order". The lesson learned from here, from Frank, is, as i understand it, that if the order is not directly defined via cords, then one can't be sure to know what happens. But as with the adding example with out the trigger, one can be lucky to make it work as wanted without the tricker. The same may have happened for Derek in this send~/receive~ case.

As in: the 'in reality sequential order' might be from line one to EOF, but if cords/connections have been made to directly specify an execution order, they'll be followed first. As in a hierarchy of execution order.

Just a thought. - I haven't read the code.
