The xendomains init script which is responsible for starting domains at boot time is pretty simplisitic. It simply does a wildcard on the files in /etc/xen/auto/* or saved VMs in /var/lib/xen/save/* so domains will get started in alphabetical order based on their name. You shouldn't rely on this behaviour though, because the way domains are autostarted has changed in Xen 3.0.4 which will be in Fedora 7 and I can't guarentee the startup ordering will be the same So if you want to ensure domains start ina particular order, I'd not use the xendomains script at all. Instead just put a bunch of 'xm create' statements in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to follow your desired ordering exactly.
