i usually deal with this problem by using send/receive instead of patch cords.
i seldomly experience problems with the order of execution when dealing 
with many instances of an object (they tend to work in parallel and not 
interfere with each other - at least not where execution order is a 
problem).

you can interact with each object separately either via special 
receive-names ("$1_my_param" where $1==1..N) or via special messages to 
a "global" (could be localized with $0) receiver and the use of [route] 
(msg "$1 <parm>" to "my_param" and then do a [route $1]))

both approaches have pros and cons (symbol-table pollution vs. 
[route]-evaluation)

apart from that, a hierarchical approach (loads and loads of 
abstractions) often helps a lot, even if you don't like hierarchies...
