well, if the original Pd patch does not use triggers to explicitely define the execution order, then it is plainly buggy.
so you are basically requesting a converter that fixes bugs for you. while this would certainly be a cool thing to have (the software society is waiting for ages for such a feature...), there is none.
you might still get away with that (e.g. if you don't trigger any race conditions)
ifthe converted patch is borken you have serveral options: - kick the upstream author to write patches with fewer bugs - fix the pd-patch by hand and submit the changes to the upstream author - fix the pd-patch by hand everytime the upstream author releases a new version - fix the max-patch by hand everytime the upstream author releases a new version
i would go for one of the first two options, as they imply less work on the long run. if you are doing a one-time conversion, it doesn't really matter (but you might still want to kick the upstream author)
