No.  If your webapps have ordering dependencies, it's up to you to provide =
the necessary synchronization within the webapps.  The servlet spec indicat=
es that webapps are independent, and Tomcat treats them that way.

A red herring, and not to be relied on.  It likely has more to do with the =
underlying file system hash code value generated for each webapp name in it=
s directory.  The order is indeterminate, and whatever you kludge find that=
 works today may well operate differently on the next update.

Right now, webapps are initialized serially, but there's nothing to prevent=
 them from being done in parallel in the future.
