        I do two things differently:
1.      If there are multiple instances of something (ie. you have two
        lots of 'copy' and 'shellcommands'), then I add a class specifier
        after *all* instances.
2.      I divide the whole thing into phases (with comments :) ), so
        something like:
        actionsequence  = (
                # Miscellaneous
                files.initialchecks copy.initial links resolve
                # Configuration changes (copy must be before shellcommands)
                copy.config shellcommands.config editfiles.config
                # Postconfig; things that must be after configuration
                copy.postconfig files.postconfig
                shellcommands.reload shellcommands.postconfig
                # Final checks
                files.checksumming
        )

        :)
