Ordering applies only for executions of a single plugin. If you need to
interleave executions of two or more plugins you're out of luck. Say you
have two plugins, exec-maven and maven-sql, and want to run
exec-maven A1
maven-sql B1
exec-maven A2
maven-sql B2
A1 and A2 will run in that order, and (B1, B2) will be ordered, but you
can't control which set (A or B) runs first without horribly abusing the
phase bindings. And, if you have a more complex sequence with 3 plugins
and multiple executions of each, there aren't enough available phases to
successfully order everything.
It should be possible to bind multiple plugin executions, of DIFFERENT
plugins, to a single phase and deterministically specify the execution
order.
