I wasn't advocating we change the current behavior, Ant's own build
file relies on it in much the same way as

for example see the way we structure our test targets.
<target name="run-tests"
depends="dump-info,junit-tests,antunit-tests,check-failed"
and "check-failed" doesn't depend on anything, so with a different
executor model it might be run before any test has started.
In the context of phases I think we don't need control over ordering
since the targets that want to add themselves to phases shouldn't
really depend on each other. If they do - that's what I meant to say
- then it smells as if an additional intermediate phase was missing.
But your example got me thinking. It is pretty easy to imagine that
there would be "build" and "clean-build" phases much like what you
have shown with target. If my target wants to do something only in
the clean-build phase it will most likely make a difference whether it
is run before or after "clean".
