Within a given faces-config.xml file you should be able to count on

ordering with respect to view handlers loaded from different
faces-config.xml files (for example, those implicitly loaded from the
META-INF directory of a component JAR).
You may recall some earlier discussion on this list about what the JSF
RI currently does -- essentially loading the jar files in alphabetical
order. It's a convention, not a mandated requirement, and doesn't
address all possible dependency relationships you might want, but it
would be better than nothing.
Ok thanks for the clarification, then my work spent on it so far is more
or less useless because the JSF api basically implcitely already does
what I had in mind :-)
