I tend to agree that they should be deleted last.  Enforcing deletion in
the reverse
order to how they were registered might impose some slight performance
penalty
at instantiation time, however, depending on how the deletion order is
determined
at cleanup time, since they are instantiated on demand (and hence possibly
out-of-order).

I don't believe that there is any particular reason for deleting them prior
to other
active objects, but perhaps Simon or Lars can correct me on this point.
Nonetheless, I don't think that the current behaviour is a bug, per-se, as
the
destruction order was never documented or guaranteed, as far as I know.

Cheers,
Chris.
