Doesn't matter: Nothing is guaranteed about order of finalization (and
this is reasonable). Thus, the finalizers can be run in any arbitrary
order. The important point here is that they are run *at all*.
It does matter because a destructor may use an object that has just been
destroyed.

No, the docs specifically state that this is invalid (and it currently
throws InvalidMemoryOperationError in most cases).
Whether it *should* be allowed is arguable, but it isn't currently, both
in docs and impl.
