I don't know. I searched through the source files,
and IIUC black_notehead_width depends on the function draw_outside_ellipse
(defined in feta-noteheads.mf) and the puff_up_factor (defined in
feta-params.mf).

So while you are restructuring the metafont files anyway (well, kind of),
would it make sense to collect the drawing functions like 
draw_outside_ellipse
in another file, perhaps feta-routines.mf?

Then you could include that file in both feta-noteheads.mf and feta-flags.mf
and call draw_outside_ellipse to compute the value of black_notehead_width.

I think this is easier to maintain than forcing an order in which the files
are handled during the build process, and it makes testing more easy, 
because
the files are handled independently.

But this looks like a whole lot of work ... :-(

Just my 2ct,

Marc
