If you spot more than one message connection leaving an outlet in a
patch ("fanning") than you're generally looking at a broken patch.

But if you already have such a buggy patch which wasn't using triggers
to specify execution order and was instead relying on the current
implementation, where the order of creation specifies the order of
execution, and if you forgot the order of creation, one approach to
find out the order of execution is to use lots of named [print]
objects and watch the console. It's tedious, but that's the price to
pay for not using triggers in the first place. :(
