event driven programs can't usually rely on the order they might run. but in the case they both handle the same event or predictable event sequence, you may have handler for one event [conditionally] trigger the other event or even invoke it's handler directly.

Is it acceptable to assume that Event Handlers are excecuted in the order they are bound? I just wanted to hear what peoples thoughts were on this. Lets say I have two plugins which both bind an event handler to the form submit event. In order for them to co-exist, one of the event handlers would need to execute first. In other languages and platforms I would consider making this kind of assumption to be bad practice. I would think the ideal thing to do would be to support callbacks (or better yet, custom events) similar to the validate plugin. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on this.
