yeah, there were two simultaneous, separate but similar issues being discussed in one thread :) the threads started out with what you are talking about, and morphed into a discussion of the order of operations.
as for numbering the inlets/outlet, i'm all for it, i think it makes a
lot more sense then the physical positioning system we have now.
changing this wouldnt break older patches if the current functionality
was how the objects would continue to behave if you gave them no number
initialization argument.

Unless I misunderstood the original poster, the problem has nothing to do at all with what order the inlets were fired in, but what order they appear in at the parent's object box.
I don't understand how this is at all related to the order of processing.
Again, unless I misunderstood, the question was this: If I put a number of inlets in my patch, how do I know which one will be the first, second, etc..
