A user should never have to worry about loading order in the first place. 
I'm not saying that there isn't some conceivable situation where it would 
be useful to control, but if it's something you're relying on then you 
have a hack, not a plugin. This isn't a bad thing, just use my-hacks.php 
(or file editing) instead of the plugin loader. You of course still have 
access to all of the API calls.
