Hello Andreas, as far as I know, the CPE executes components (casProcessors) in the order that they are defined in the CPE descriptor.
outputsNewCASes: should be set to true on a CAS multiplier. Mind that CPEs do not support these. multipleDeploymentAllowed: the CPE creates multiple instances on all components with this set to true (usually AEs). Once the CPE hits the first component with this set to false, all following components are only instantiated once. modifiesCas: I think this has no particular effect in a CPE. No idea really where this is used. A quick search on the UIMA source code didn't seem to produce any location where this setting has any effect.
