If your talking about dead lock caused by mutual cross mounting
between 2 systems via NFS the NFS rule book says ``don't do that,
it hurts''.

Independent of order of export/mounting the dead lock occurs.  Cross
mounting via NFS is a verbotten thing in the sysadmin world of production
systems.  :-)  I have had to fix it at several sites admin'd by newbies...
