using is the right solution for server scripts, or potentially for as-needed dependencies (only load if the user does XYZ). However, if the server code (core or extension) knows a module will be needed, it should use OutputPage::addModules or similar to avoid unnecessary round-drips. > Another way to keep the right execution order may be to establish > some kind of "global hook system" within your own extensions.

Otherwise, ResourceLoader dependencies (and maybe object-oriented programming to help structure) should work.
