Well, it does for direct wired connections obviously.
So my error was to think that a [send~]-[receive~] pair was the same as 
an invisible wire.

Now the subpatch trick (btw thank you for pointing me to the 
documentation resources about it) doesn't help at all for [send~] and 
[receive~] does it? I mean it's applicable but if you can arrange the 
send and receive into subpatches that you have to connect physically, 
then you don't need the s~ and r~ in the first place...

So when you use send~s and receive~s, basically there's no way of 
enforcing a correct execution order?!?
