I can't imagine how it could work like that. It has to go
recursively so it will *always* find the parent directory
first. How could a subdirectory possibly be created
before its parent directory?
It'd pretty unlikely for that to be the case, but you'd be
relying on the find command, the underlying readdir() system
calls, etc. which just don't guarantee an order.
It's more than unlikely, it's literally impossible. find has to open
the parent directory before it can even see the subdirectories.
