This is why django has...
installed_applications = [
'contrib.auth',
'my.blog',
'comments',
]
Which solves this problem. Its just one more line in db.py (or settings.py), I
already have to declare admin, why not installed_plugins = [] ?? then
web2py will go through the plugins in that order, create their models,
etc etc...
For another example, I view Auth, Crud, Mail etc... as 'plugins' that
happen to be included with web2py always

I think we've been trying to get this out of you for quite some time now :)
So what you call a plugin, is not what I call/imagine a plugin.
