For example when i create a patch with 2 objects that are not

that, because it's an implementation detail that may change in future versions and it's generally error prone because you cannot see the creation order.You can test this with an abstraction that prints something with a loadbang, like:
testme.pd:
[loadbang] | [f $1] | [print]
testme-for-real.pd:
[testme 1] [testme 2]
Then open testme-for-real.pd again.
I agree with Frank here, but I will give you the gun of knowledge with
which to shot yourself in the foot with:
If you read the .pd file in a text editor, you can see the order of
creation. The file is read top-to-bottom, in one pass.
