thanks for this explanations. For me this is one of the miracles and 
difficult for planning.
Often i'm lost in the whole templates. I can use Object browser to find the 
settings, but no idea where they are.
The analyzer shows linenumbers but no complete view.

What is the best way to get an overview knowing which object is before in 
template, which tool helps most in understanding page render process ?
Or do i miss something build in ?
