Can you look into writing a patch for that?

For the scenarios where you do need some load order, I''ve requested
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9613 -- it takes just enough pain
out of config.plugins to make it bearable, but still leaves enough in
that people won''t go crazy with dependency overload. Some one PDI this
likely-just-a-few-lines patch.
