Depending on when and where you call a particular routine, that particular
manager may not be initialized.  For example, you can't create a window if
the window manager is uninitialized.  Maybe something along those lines?

No.

The order INITs are run in is determined by the alphabetical ordering of the
file names.  You can't specify that you want to run before or after another
INIT.  It's all random what is run before and after your INIT depending on
what a particular person has installed...
