Ok, your right I did found some information a little bit later after
posting.

The reason for not having any order is because it's multithread and all
webapps
are loaded at the same time.

I was wondering about order because we have properties file that if badly
configured on one context will affect all others.

One way to overcome this, I guess, would be that part of the code being in
Shared or Common area?
Thus defining those properties only once.

Funny, I find lot's of info on this and the answer is always no.  Some
posts suggest hacks though:

As has been noted in at least one of the results above, it's a fragile
design.  Better to design the depending webapps to handle the case when
one of their dependencies isn't available.  Then they will all just wait
or gracefully deal with the missing resource until it's available.
