Interesting. I mostly visualize it the opposite way, with the buttons & fields on the lowest level and then the card, background, and stack scripts higher and higher, with the engine at the top catching everything not handled by scripts, and frontscripts before everything, and backscripts before the engine, and behaviors inserted in there sort of on the side. Either that or I see it as front to back, with buttons and fields in the front and the engine at the back. I suppose if you think in terms of flowcharts going from top to bottom makes sense, but somehow I got the other image in my mind at some point.
Probably because Danny Goodman diagrammed it that way in his HyperCard Handbook, with the engine at the top. I tend to think of it with the engine at the bottom, or more often, "back" and "front" with buttons at the front.
Jerry Daniels called this the difference between "earth worshippers" and "sky worshippers". He was clever like that.
