Chain them in a boolean expression, connected by && (the first method returning false will break the chain), in the order you want them executed.

load($stateParams.draftId) && getMetaData();

function load (whatever){
  return loadItemTreeRoot(draftId) && loadUnassigned(draftId);
}

getMetaData() will execute only if load() (and, therefore, loadItemTreeRoot() and loadUnassigned()) returns true. If the methods return a non-logical value, add a comparison to the chain to signal success (but the principle remains).
