Hmmm. I will confess that depending on a particular execution order of tasks makes me a bit nervous. (Mainly because I might accidently break them on a version change).

This makes me think that I should clearly document exactly what ordering rake will guarantee and when dependencies can be added or not. Conversations this weekend at the hoedown reminded me that documenting Rakes application API would be a good idea as well.
