that's what I was afraid of. So, in response to Dave's original question:
unless you make sure you only load that one servlet at startup, this is not
the way to ensure that a specific servlet is initialized first.

No. It doesn't.
Different servlet containers *may* implement different loading
schemes... it would probably depend on the parser. I imagine most
would load in the order given in the file.
But from what I rememeber this is NOT a gaurantee.
Searching back through the archives might help with this because it
was discussed before.
