It's undefined, unless you define it with subpatches with signal cords 
between them (which don't need to carry meaningful data, just the 
presence of a signal connection is enough to force order):

if this diagram makes any sense at all:

            /
[pd first
        inlet~
         |
         env~ -- print 1
   outlet~
]
  |         /
[pd second
   inlet~  inlet~
           |
           env~ -- print 2
]

this is documented somewhere, i think in a flanger example...
