Front and Back Scripts

[SirWobbyTheFirst]

I have been experimenting with the front and back scripts for a while and the curiosity monster has reared his head and so I started wondering when you insert a script into the front or back scripts or start using a stack is there an order in which a script is received for example.

Say I insert the script of my first stack into the front script and then insert the script of my second stack into the front script, does the second stack receive a message first or vice versa and is this order applied to the back scripts and stacks in use.

PS. Curiosity killed the cat and its probably gonna get me too. And the biggest thank you to everyone who has helped me with my other queries in last few months.

The order in which handlers with the same name are triggered is indeed dependent on the order in which frontScripts, backScripts, and libraries are inserted into the message path.

Details on this are available in the Dictionary, and you may find this article helpful:

So in essence, the example I gave, where the two stacks which where both inserted into the front scripts, the one to be inserted second would have received the message first is true.

I thought this would have been the case. Cos if i query the backscripts function the result shows the order in which the scripts where inserted. Well thanks alot FourthWorld for quenching my first for knowledge.
