[TYPO3-dev] Extension Loading Order (sysext vs. local installed)

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi!

First off:
The order of template inclusion can easily be checked with the Template 
Analyzer

I would say for historical reasons.

As far as I can tell by looking at the Template Analyzer, the behaviour 
is the same in 4.5

Maybe the case you remember for 4.5 were 2 extensions using 
ext_typoscript_setup.txt In this case the loading order of the 
extensions matter.

The default order for root template is:

1. Selected templates from "Include static"
2. Automatically included templates from extensions (ext_typoscript_setup)
3. Selected "Basis Templates"

When selecting the checkbox "Include Static Templates After Basis 
Templates" the order is:

1. Selected "Basis Templates"
2. Selected templates from "Include static"
3. Automatically included templates from extensions (ext_typoscript_setup)

Wenn rootflag is not set (or you select "Never include before this 
template record") then ext_typoscript_setup are not inlcuded at all 
resulting in:


1. Selected templates from "Include static"
2. Selected "Basis Templates"

or

1. Selected "Basis Templates"
2. Selected templates from "Include static"

You could choose to not inlcude ext_typoscript_setup templates and 
manually include the ones you need in the correct order with include 
lines in a template of your choice.

Kind regards,
Helmut
