Apologies for derailing the thread

 Ive saved the file and it is is now behaving the way I want every time I open it, can I rely that it will always open and work like that if no one edits the file changing the order of connections and everything?

(As far as I know) you can be certain that a patch will run repeatedly the same way as long as no modifications to the file are made. 

The only caveat would be using an object like random, where its number generator state is remembered for the lifetime of the Pd application running your patch. However, if you reopen the whole application it'll be reset.

wow, this is quite a technical and theoretical discussion, nice.

but, keeping it simple and trying to avoid this nitty gritty completely, all I'm curious about is if I can rely on building a patch with order of creation/connection for both data and audio without trigger and subpatches.

and by that, the question is: if i know what I'm doing in the patch in order to force the behaviour I want, and the patch is working in the way that I want because of that, and Ive saved the file and it is is now behaving the way I want every time I open it, can I rely that it will always open and work like that if no one edits the file changing the order of connections and everything?

thanks

ah yes, stupid me.
