I'm not sure this applies, but I use a builder to order the instantiation of controls on a form by their tab order. This way I know which objects get instantiated first. It was something I downloaded a long while back and I don't know the author either.

I does re-orders objects in containers other than forms i.e. grids, pageframes, etc. or objects in groups i.e. optiongroup, commandgroup, etc.

If you want it, just let me know where to send it.
