[PD] trigger order of multiple env~ objects

[Miller Puckette]

It's terrible, but...

put one env~ in a sub-window
connect an audio outlet of that sub-window to yet another sub-window
put the second env~ in that one.

Guaranteed that the upper one outputs first.

The same technique works for delay read/write pairs; see example 
J07.execution.order.pd

cheers
