Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 I have come up against this issue a lot while developing in WordPress.
 Plugins that load in libraries, such as meta box generator. I have also
 had issues with buddypress plugins, although this issue is getting better.
 Could the plugin load order be fixed by implementeing a similar system to
 child themes, making child plugins. This would allow you to create plugin
 that is linked to another. You could also make it not active if the parent
 plugin is not present or deactivated.
