I think that changed from version to version, so unless you are on a
dedicated server, you have to manage any order dependencies for
yourself...
I do not think there *IS* a documented ordering to this.
Actually, I think it is documented that the order of the destructors cannot
be predicted. This means that even if you find how it is done in this
particular version, don't count on that to hold if in a newer version they
change it. By stating that it cannot be predicted, the developers reserve
the right to change it at any time.
When an object is deleted, it is put in the list of things to be dispossed
of, and the garbage collector will call the destructors prior to
deallocating the memory. It can happen at any time when there is no higher
priority stuff to be done. So, it all depends on the whim of the garbage
collector, a background item that the developers might change at any time
and whose behaviour depends on lots of unpredictable things such as server
load.
You get whatever order PHP feels like using.
