Sorry, I'm lost now. If you store them both and apply them in either 
order, shouldn't the result be correct no matter what?

If this is not true for some case: we have an API problem, and we can 
debate whether it's in the class featuring interlinked properties, or in 
the meta property system that is not clearly reflecting the 
dependencies, thus making a (de)serializer of such properties impossible 
to write correctly. And the latter has way more profound implications 
than just serializing the state of a QObject (e.g. thinking of IPC like 
DBus, QtRO, etc.).
