It all starts in gluon.main.wsgibase, which eventually calls gluon.main.serve_controller here<https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/main.py#L446>. >From there, much of the action jumps to gluon.compileapp. serve_controller first calls gluon.compileapp.build_environment here<https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/main.py#L177>, which builds the global environment containing the web2py API. build_environment starts with _base_environment_ (defined here<https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/compileapp.py#L381>), which includes the HTML helpers, validators, DAL, Field, etc.
serve_controller then calls gluon.compileapp.run_models_in here<https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/main.py#L190>. run_models_in then executes the code for each model file (depending on response.models_to_run) in the global environment. After running the models, serve_controller eventually calls functions to run the controller, and if necessary, the view. Note, serve_controller ultimately ends by raising an HTTP exception, which is why the code in wsgibase is structured in a try/except -- it catches the HTTP exception and does some further processing before returning the response.
